Pascal Bernabé

Pascal Bernabé is a French scuba diver who in 2005 laid claim to the world best for depth on a deep dive using self-contained breathing apparatus. Bernabé claimed to have reached a maximum depth of using trimix on 5 June 2005 near Propriano, Corsica. This was actually deeper than the official deepest scuba dive recognized by Guinness World Records at the time. That mark, set by Nuno Gomes in Dahab, Egypt, was of sea water. However, Bernabé's claimed deepest dive was not included in the Guinness Book of World Records due to insufficient evidence of such a dive ever being performed.

On 18 September 2014, Ahmed Gabr descended to in the Red Sea off the coast of Egypt, setting a new world record that superseded both Nuno's officially recognized record and Pascal's claimed record. Ahmed's record was verified by Guinness World Records.

Publications Pascal Bernabé co-authored the book "Le Guide de la plongée Tek" (The Guide to Tech Diving) with François Brun. The book, first published in 2008 (with subsequent editions like the 3rd edition in 2021), is considered a reference manual for technical diving, covering nitrox, trimix, rebreathers, and cave diving.
