Ukrainian free diver, Kateryna Sadurska, has broken her own world record in the Constant Weight No-Fins (CNF) diving category in the waters of Dominica.
The event took place off Soufriere on Tuesday, November 26, during which Sadurska dove 269 feet in 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
Following her feat, the diver said the training process was not easy since she couldn’t practice in her country, which is now locked in a war with Russia.
“The training process was not easy,” she said. “I had to travel a lot because I cannot train in my own country.”
She said the freediving season was very challenging but was thrilled to do such a deep dive.
“The day before the weather was not really nice and today I was lucky, as well as the other competitors,” she stated. “So it is a reminder to appreciate the little things.”
She also took to the social media platform, Instagram, to express her joy.
“I can’t believe that it’s already my 6th World Record within a year,” she wrote. “It’s hard to process it right now, just want to tell it looks easy and it felt easy, as it should be, but the journey was really far from that. I’m sending all my gratitude to everyone involved.”
Just last month, Sadurska set a new world free diving record in the World Underwater Federation or CMAS 8th World Freediving Depth Championship in Greece. She outperformed 140 freedivers from more than 37 countries.
At that event, she dove 262 feet.
According to freedive.com, CNF is often described as the purest and most challenging form of freediving.
It “requires the freediver to descend and ascend along the dive-line without using fins, without changing their weighting, without using the rope (except once at the bottom to turn) and without assistance of any kind. It’s the most physically and technically demanding of the depth disciplines because it requires a high rate of work and a long dive-time. For many, however, it’s also the most fun because it allows for complete freedom in the water.”

Na, absolutely not!
This is going to be categorized as ‘world War’ because it’s among the European on European soil.
When Europe fought their tribal wars against each other as proud evil pirates ☠️ in Africa and its open waters they devastated the whole continent with millions of People, then called truce and stole all land forcibly with heavy weapons, drew borders into 50 little countries, burned down all schools, religious institutions, and rewrote their constitutions to benefit only Europe with mono-crops coupled with absolutely NO MANUFACTURING; it was called African tribal war. For that reason we’re out.
We should send some of our forces to help them in Ukraine in an act of solidarity

You could send all. Just make sure you purchase only one-way tickets for them. Ukraine is a very large country, with a lot of space for burial grounds.
and some of them may never come back
