Since the 1st AIDA freediving world championship in 1996, we have organized many competitions and many records with well-known divers such as Loic Leferme, Pierre Frolla, and Guillaume Néry.
We also organized the AIDA world cup in 2000, the 1st AIDA WC (CWT) in 2005, and the team WC in 2012.
These events are not the result of one man, or only one small freediving club, but has always relied on teamwork; everybody knows that teamwork has no limit.

O2 will be available in the water at 6m for deep athletes, a scuba O2 certification will be asked during the registration step (or the day of the arrival) to note which athletes have the right to use such equipment.
