There isn’t much information the details of Ferreras’s experiences in Cuba. Ferreras began his underwater career through the comparatively unknown game of spearfishing. Pipin was exposed to the free-diving sport by a few Italians who were traveling to Cuba. They instantly recognized his talents. He was enthralled by the sport and quickly realized that when spearfishing or dives for black coral the diver would often dive far deeper than free-diving champions. He decided to begin competing in the sport and set his world’s first-ever record when he was 27. It was only the first of 21 different world records he’s set. In the latter half of the 1980s and afterward, he established his name in the known as “No-Limits”‘ discipline of freediving. He set the world’s first record at 112 metres (367 feet) depth in November of 1989. In the following months, he left Italy and then moved into Florida, United States. In the 90s, he set an extensive series of World Records, often in the same competition as Italian Umberto Pelizzari. In this time, Ferreras’ last logged record dive reached a record depth that was 162 metres (531 feet) at the beginning of January in 2000. That was 12 meters higher than Pelizzari’s highest record.

In 1989, it was 112 meters. In 1991, 112 meters. In 1992, 120 meters. In 1993, the number was 125 meters. In 1994, the number was 126 meters. In 1994, 128 meters. In 1995, 128 meters. In 2000, 162 meters. On 2003 – 170m.

Ferreras had two defunct marriages behind him when in 1996, he met French-born Mexican-national Audrey Mestre who was also a freediver herself. In 1999 they married, and quickly the two became a regular record-breaking couple in the sport of freediving, dividing men and women’s records between them.
