Khoury breaks three national freediving records

Abu Dhabi Ahmad Abdullah Khoury broke three of Adel Abu Haliqa’s UAE national records at the Freedive Dahab Mini Competition 2012 in Egypt.

Khoury bettered Haliqa’s marks breaking records in the free immersion (46 metres), static (4 minutes 2 seconds) and constant weight disciplines (45 metres).

Khoury said: “I am honoured and proud to be representing the UAE in this competition, which has been great preparation for the 2012 AIDA Team Freediving World Championships to be held in France in September.

“I have been training hard for this competition both in the UAE and Thailand and was very pleased with my performance, but felt I can go

deeper. They were all very relaxing dives because I had done 51 metres in practice.”
