On 19 July 2003 she broke the men's Variable Weight (VWT) world record by diving to a depth of 400 feet (122 m) and held it over a year until the record was broken by Carlos Coste (135 m) in Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela on 27 October 2004. However, as a women's record, it lasted almost seven years, until Natalia Molchanova reached 125 m in June 2010 in Kalamata, Greece.
