Ocean diver and endurance athlete John Procope has completed a historic swim from Tobago to Trinidad.

According to reports, this was Procope’s 4th attempt at the swim and he successfully completed this attempt in around 24-25 hours’ time.

He was provided with drinking water and other sustenance via support boats.

Procope reportedly was inspired by the story of a slave who was said to have escaped capture by swimming from Tobago to Trinidad in the 18th century.
