Free immersion (FIM) is an AIDA International freediving discipline in which the freediver dives under water without the use of propulsion equipment, but only by pulling on the rope during descent and ascent.[1]
Performances may be done head first or feet first during the descent, or a combination of the two.
The current record holders are Petar Klovar (Croatia) with a depth of 132m (433ft) (CMAS rules), set on 6 Oct 2022 in Kaş, Antalya, Turkey, Alexey Molchanov (Russia) with a depth of 132 meters (406 feet) (AIDA rules), set on 21 July 2023 in Dean's Blue Hole, Bahamas, and among female freedivers Sayuri Kinoshita (Japan) with 97 meters (318 feet), set on 26 July 2018 in the Bahamas (CMAS rules),[2] Fatima Korok (Hungary), set on 26 July 2023 in the Bahamas (102m, AIDA rules).[3][4]
