A monofin is a single fin that fits over both feet.
Guinness World Records showed Shaaban’s performance in a TikTok post on Thursday.
Shaaban is past a record held since 2011 by three men, the Italian Cesare Fumarola and Stefano Figini and the Egyptian Soliman Sayed, who each achieved a jump of 6 meters 6 inches (2 meters).
Shaaban’s jump took place during an Egyptian diving and lifesaving federation in Cairo in November.
“Bigger muscles make it hard to jump in water, so I try … to increase flexibility, improve muscle reflexes and, of course, build stronger legs,” he said.
Shaaban is also one of the world’s fastest underwater sprinters, the report said.
“As a sprinter, I understand that even thinking burns oxygen, so I tend to concentrate in the present moment. Part of our training is to learn how to be extremely relaxed in the water.”
