Walid Boudhiaf Sets New AIDA Freediving Variable Weight World Record

-

Tunisian freediver Walid Boudhiaf this past weekend set a new AIDA world record in the Variable Weight (VWT) discipline off Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.

Boudhiaf dove to 150 meters (492 feet) via a sled and ascended with a monofin, beating the previous record of 146 meters (479 feet) that Greek freediver Stavros Kastrinakis had set in November 2015.

The attempt was done under the supervision of two main and three assistant AIDA judges.
