The 24 year old beat the record previously created in April of this year on Italian televison where the record holder resolved two cubes one after the other while under water, in doing so, David earned his 4th Guinness world record.

After donning his neopreno diving suit David  was submerged in the aquarium at Aqua Natura Benidorm, which holds 1,5 million litres of sea water and contains many different species of fish.  For security reasons a trained diving instructor was with David during the record attempt.cuborubik3

David obtained his first Guiness World record in 2008  when he solved the highest number of rubic cubes in one hour, completing a total of 185.  His second record came a year later achieving the highest number of completed cubes while under water and his third title when he completed five cubes with just one hand in exactly 2,27 seconds.

David was Spanish Rubic Cube Champion in 2006 and 2007 and his personal record is to complete a cube in 12,35 seconds.  There are 19 different speciality ways to solve a rubic cube  for example using both hands, one hand, completing the cube with your eyes closed and with cubes of different sizes.
