AIDA
Waqar Khan’s freediving records
These marks are the ones listed on his AIDA International profile. They are national records, not world records.
Written by Waqar Khan, founder of Pakistan Spearfishing.
Manado, August 2026
Competition: AIDA Manado Depth Competition, 7 to 9 August 2026. Athlete: Waqar Ahmed Khan, Pakistan. Date shown on the profile for that meet: 7 August 2026.
- Constant weight (CWT): 32 m, national record. One breath, with fins, down and up on the line.
- Constant weight bifins (CWTB): 32 m, national record. The same idea, swum with a pair of fins.
- Free immersion (FIM): 32 m, national record. The diver pulls down the line and back, without kicking.
The same profile shows one silver, and another competition, AIDA OT Challenge, on 31 May 2026. Disciplines without a published mark on that profile are left blank on the athlete page. The person behind the marks is Waqar Khan. Training from these disciplines is described under freediving in Pakistan.
What this is not
The world records shown beside his marks on the athlete page are other athletes’ marks, included so the 32 m can be read in context. His personal maximum depth used by the school is 40 m. That figure is not the same thing as these competition records.
