Ukrainian freediver Kateryna Sadurska set a new women’s AIDA World Record in the Constant Weight No Fins (CNF) discipline.
Sadurska dove to 86m/282ft at the Blue Element competition in Soufrière, Dominica on November 23, 2025 (pending doping results).
In a statement, AIDA said:
“Known for redefining what is possible in no-fins diving, Kateryna has again moved the technically most challenging discipline forward with a stellar performance.”
In an Instagram post, Sadurska wrote:
“I can’t find the right words to describe how it feels, I’m happy and tired and motivated at the same time. Will share some more thoughts on this later.
“Grateful for everyone who is a part of this journey and helped me to make this happen. It’s not just about the numbers, it’s also about the path and transformation and I’m blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing people.”
This year has been a dominant one for Sadurska in the CNF discipline.
In September, Sadurska brought home CNF gold medals at both the AIDA Depth World Championships in Cyprus as well as the CMAS Depth World Championships in Greece.
