Teknowarta – Actress Kirana Larasati has achieved a remarkable milestone in the world of deep diving, securing her place in the Indonesian Record Museum (MURI). She has been officially recognized as the first woman to successfully dive to an astonishing depth of over 120 meters, setting a groundbreaking precedent.
Following her monumental achievement, Kirana Larasati shared her candid feelings. Despite having immersed herself in the sport since 2018, she confessed to experiencing profound nervousness on the day of the dive itself.
“I felt quite relieved on the D-day, because even with all the preparations and practice dives, I still felt nervous on the actual day,” Kirana Larasati stated during an interview in Petogogan, South Jakarta, on Friday (February 6, 2026). This apprehension stemmed from the myriad potential errors that could occur during such an extreme dive, where even the slightest miscalculation could lead to perilous risks.
She elaborated on the inherent dangers, explaining, “There are so many variables that can go wrong, and the risks are indeed high. That day was my first time conducting such an incredibly deep dive in the waters of Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia.” Her immense relief upon surfacing was palpable: “So, of course, I was nervous. And when it was over, my relief was beyond words.”
Despite the anxiety, Kirana Larasati was optimistic about achieving the MURI record. In fact, her performance surpassed her initial aspirations. “I knew I could reach the MURI record, an Indonesian record, because my initial target was 125 meters. But once I was down there, I managed to push myself a little further, reaching 127.8 meters,” she proudly revealed. “So, I felt relieved, happy, and immensely proud, of course, to return safely and set a record.”
Yusuf Ngadri, the Operational Director of MURI, confirmed the unprecedented nature of Larasati’s achievement. He clarified that a deep diving record for a woman exceeding 127 meters had never before been registered by MURI. Previously, diving records primarily focused on categories such as the youngest diver. “We want to convey that this is the first female diving record ever registered by MURI. There has never been one before,” Yusuf Ngadri emphasized.
Ngadri further detailed Kirana’s record-breaking feat: “She (Kirana Larasati) informed us that she would break her own personal best, setting a new benchmark. Our team recorded and validated her dive at 127.8 meters, completed in 67 minutes, in Karangasem, at Sidem, Maslub Point, Tulamben, Karangasem, Bali.”
Beehave Artist Management, which represents Kirana Larasati, expressed profound pride in her accomplishment. They highlighted how Kirana’s success demonstrates that an individual’s achievements are not solely defined by their appearance. “Kiki (Kirana Larasati) successfully proved that boundaries exist only to be surpassed. Kiki’s vision remains consistent: the standard of achievement. One’s accomplishments are not solely judged by beauty or appearance, but also by achievements beyond that,” the management concluded.
As background, Kirana Larasati began her journey into the world of diving in 2018. Her passion for the sport was ignited after the dramatic rescue of 13 children trapped in a cave in Thailand. (Tribunnewsmaker.com/Grid.ID/Hana Futari)
