Both came in the Constant Weight No Fins category, in which the diver descends and ascends by breaststroke action, carrying any weight of choice throughout the dive.
New Zealander William Trubridge set a men’s mark of 90m.
Russian Natalia Molchanova took the women’s world record with 62m.
The competition’s other category was Constant Weight, in which the voluntarily weighted diver is propelled by fin-power, usually a monofin.
Men’s Constant Weight champion was Austrian Herbert Nitsch, with a dive to 114m.
The women’s victor was again Natalia Molchanova, with dive to 97m.
Briton’s Sara Campbell took silver in the women’s CWT with a dive to 92m.
The championship, which complements AIDA’s other worlds event for national teams, took place this year at Dean’s Blue Hole on the Bahamas’ Long Island, from 25 November to 5 December.
It was hosted by Long Island’s freediving training and activities company Vertical Blue, run by Trubridge.
