Biography[edit]

Miguel Lozano was born in 1979 in Montgat, Barcelona, in a small fishing village on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.[5] In 2011, Lozano made the 'magic' depth of 100m in constant weight. A year later, he descends to 117m while competing in Free Immersion in the Bahamas.[6]

In 2015, Lozano won silver medals twice in two of the three depth disciplines in the AIDA World Depth Championships in Cyprus.[3] In 2016, he performed a 122-meter (400 feet) free immersion dive (FIM) at the Caribbean Cup Competition in Roatán, Honduras.[4]

In 2022, Lozano attempted to break the world record for the deepest dive with the target depth of 125 meters, but he blacked out due to low oxygen pressure.[1]

Currently, Lozano runs four freediving schools in the world: Apnea Canarias in Tenerife[6] and Lanzarote, Dahab Freedivers in Egypt, and Freedive Air in Indonesia.[5]
