Family status
Beth Neale and Miles Cloutier first met in Bermuda five years ago, and they currently reside in South Africa with their daughter, who is 1.5 years old.
Challenges they faced
They both are underwater filmmakers; the concept was built three years ago, and they trained for weeks. However, they acknowledged that the task itself was much more difficult than they had thought. Beth told Guinness World Records, “Three days before the record, I just could not hold my breath.” “We couldn’t even achieve the existing record – we weren’t even near,” Miles continued.
Practice before the final take
At 7:30 in the morning, Beth and Miles started the exercise by warming up with some breath holds before attempting two practice underwater kisses that lasted two and three minutes.
