Rob Pope chats to Diana Nyad, the only person to ever complete the treacherous 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida – or even attempt to do so without the use of a shark cage. Diana reveals why, after an unsuccessful attempt, she decided to revisit the swim 30 years later – and how, after continuous failed attempts after that, she found the will to keep on trying until she finally succeeded. Sharing anecdotes from her five gruelling quests, Diana talks about how she endured everything from a near-death encounter with a deadly box jellyfish, to a night spent repeatedly vomiting into her protective swimming mask.
