Ahmed Gabr
Manager & Head Instructor — and the deepest scuba diver in history.
Deeper Than Anyone In History
In 2014, off the Red Sea coast of Egypt, Ahmed Gabr descended to 332.35 metres on open-circuit scuba — the deepest scuba dive ever recorded, a Guinness World Record that still stands. The descent took around fifteen minutes; the return, with staged decompression, took close to fifteen hours.
An Egyptian technical diver and former army officer, Ahmed turned a lifetime of discipline, planning and team training into a dive most considered impossible. Today he leads Double Wing Tek — which means you learn deep-diving discipline, gas planning and redundancy from the person who has been deeper than anyone alive.
That is the difference at our academy: you are not learning theory from a manual. You are learning the mindset and the method that survived 332 metres.
