Olympic diver Tom Daley used a smartphone while jumping off a diving board to take what is believed to be the world’s first ever selfie during a reverse ‘gainer’ dive.
Daley teamed up with HTC for the stunt and used the new HTC U11's "squeeze to selfie" function to take the shot. "I love taking a selfie, so when the challenge arose to try and take one, and capture myself mid dive, I obviously jumped at the chance," said Tom.
The crew got some sexy shots of Tom in his speedo while prepping for the dive, too.
"The HTC U11’s amazing ‘squeeze to selfie’ function made this possible, and might even be a world first!? It took a few attempts to perfect my dive, but after a few belly flops I got there," said Tom.
