Famed free diver Enzo Maiorca has died at the age of 85, the Italian navy says. Giancarlo Garozzo, the mayor of Syracuse in Sicily, said Maiorca died there on Sunday. No cause of death was given.
Maiorca's friendly rivalry with diver Jacques Mayol inspired much of a 1988 film, The Big Blue, directed by Luc Besson. The two divers competed against each other, starting in 1966, taking turns as the record holder for free diving.
