The current record in variable weight, in which the freediver dives with the help of a sled and ascends with his own effort, flapping or with the impulse of his arms, is at -146m and was recorded by the Greek Stavros Kastrinakis in November 2015 and will be the mark to be surpassed by Walid, who in his last training dive of 2020 registered a decrease of -137 meters, as published on his official Facebook page.
