No other woman in the whole world has ever gone deeper than her in the marine depths. No one like this beautiful-eyed blonde displays such a curriculum vitae in sport, with 15 absolute world records of immersion in apnea.
During twelve years, she was part of the national synchronized swimming where she established her position as individual champion. After the Pan-american Games Havana'91, she retired for the first time, but another door opened when she achieved a 98 ft. immersion.
Such was her enthusiasm for the new discipline, that the following year she went for the deepest mark and achieved an immersion of 190 ft. which surpassed the world record of the Italian Roxana Mallorca, sister of Enzo, another great in the risky discipline.
Those who witnessed her hard work know of this woman sacrifices and privations to train with endurance and will in the deep waters by the Colony Hotel, in the Isle of Youth, where Débora suffered in 1996 a car crash that put in danger her future as an immersionist.
The efforts of the medical team that assisted her and her own will where stronger than the serious injuries. That is why, life smiled at her again and she challenged herself over and over again.
Ernesto, her son, is undoubtedly her best trophy. Barely a few months old, he was already in the sea by his mother. That world has started to be his too and we hope he follows in the footsteps of his mother, who intends to open and run an institute devoted to sub-aquatic world in the isle of youth and to that end she has received the support of the authorities of the Ministry of Tourism.
