About This Dataset

Deepest Freediving World Records by Discipline (Men)
The deepest AIDA-recognised men's freediving world records across each competitive discipline, in metres. No Limits, which allows a weighted descent sled and lift bag, reaches far deeper than the self-powered disciplines, topped by Herbert Nitsch's 214 m dive.
✨ AI Insight

No Limits (214 m, Herbert Nitsch) stands 58 metres above every self-propelled discipline because divers ride a weighted sled down and a lift bag up, removing the muscular cost of the descent and ascent. Variable Weight (156 m, Alexey Molchanov) sits between the assisted and unassisted worlds. The purely self-powered records then cluster tightly: Free Immersion and Constant Weight tie at 133 m, both Molchanov, with Constant Weight Bifins just behind at 126 m - showing how little fin design changes the ceiling. Constant Weight No Fins (103 m, Petar Klovar) is the hardest of all, 30 metres shallower, underlining that stripping away every aid exposes the true limit of human breath-hold depth.
