SOUFRIÈRE, Dominica — Trinidad and Tobago freediver Victoria Deonarine has set a new national record after reaching a depth of 52 metres on a single breath at the Blue Element Freediving Competition in Dominica on November 11.

Deonarine completed the dive in two minutes and one second while competing in the Constant Weight Bi-Fins (CWTB) event, improving her previous national mark by two metres.

She had set that record on November 10.

Her latest achievement follows a strong showing at the 2025 edition of the competition, where she established three national records.

Deonarine is the only Caribbean competitor among more than 20 athletes taking part this year. The field includes divers from the Maldives, the United States, Austria, Ukraine, Germany, China, New Zealand and Colombia.

The competition began on November 8 and is scheduled to continue until November 17.
