POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This world championship was FULL of surprises. Did it go the way I planned? Not even close… Did I love it? YES! 🥹

I keep growing and expanding as an athlete, still feeling like a baby diver finding her way on the world stage. Dreams I once only imagined are becoming memories, and new dreams keep being born.

I feel so blessed to be able to do hard things. To try, to surprise myself, to learn when things don’t go my way, and to keep discovering what I’m capable of. 🇲🇦💙

Special thanks to:

@aidafreediving for being the goat 🐐

My very first yellow card and early turn in competition. 💛

I’ve had such an amazing season, with more National Records than I can keep up with. This World Championship is my fifth competition back to back since August. It’s time to rest, listen to my body and give it all the credit it deserves for taking me this far.

I turned early because I couldn’t equalize my ears, after spending my entire warm-up cold and shivering. I hated every meter of this dive. I had a huge contraction at 10 m, which should have been my cue to turn, but I kept going until my ears blocked.

Honestly, that felt like a relief. I finally had what I considered a “good enough” reason to abort. But being uncomfortable and wanting to stop was already reason enough. I didn’t need to wait for my ears to make that decision for me.

These competitions have shown me how strong my mind has become. This dive reminded me that strength also means knowing when to listen to my body.

FIM is my favorite discipline, and competing on my birthday made me want another National Record and white card even more. But this is sport. Every dive won’t end with a white card, and there is still so much to learn from the ones that don’t.

I’m proud of myself for showing up, and proud of everything my body has carried me through this season. Now it deserves some rest. 🇲🇦🤍

If you notice my weight belt riding up around my waist, it also created a lot of drag. I usually use a @divewithinfreediving strap to keep it in place, but I lost mine.

This underwater short film came to life through a very spontaneous collaboration with abla, where our shared connection to the water and art flowed naturally and genuinely.

With just two days, very little planning, and a shared desire to create, we simply let the ocean set the rhythm.

The idea was simple: to capture a person’s connection with the sea through the eyes of a freediver. The silence, the movement, the depth, and that feeling of freedom that takes over when everything else disappears beneath the surface.
Sometimes, the best ideas don’t need much planning. Just the right moment, the right person, and the desire to create something together.

This is what came out of it.
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 🌊 taken in Roatán, Islas De La Bahia, Honduras by @itsabla

بطولة العالم 🌍
63 متر CWTBF بالزعانف المزدوجة، و2 متر زيادة على أحسن رقم شخصي ديالي!
محاولة رقم قياسي وطني للمغرب 🇲🇦

هنا كيبان مزيان شحال كان التيار كيدفعني وكيبعدني على الحبل.

وهاد الشي كيعني خاصني نبذل مجهود أكثر باش نوصل للعمق اللي فيه الجسم ديالي كيبدا يهبط بوحدو بلا مجهود (negative buoyancy).

مجهود أكثر = استهلاك أكثر للأوكسجين = CO₂ كيتجمع بكري أكثر فالغوصة.

وفالطلوع كان خاصني حتى هو نقاوم التيار، وهاد الجزء ماكانش الأسهل ولا الأكثر متعة 😅

أنا مازال جديدة فالغوص فبحال هاد الظروف. الترموكلين، يعني الطبقة اللي كتبدل فيها حرارة الماء، والتيار زادو تحدي آخر للغوصة.

ولكن وصلت للسطح وأنا باقية فريش كعادتي 😌 ودابا بقى ليا نكمل الـ Surface Protocol باش الغوصة تتحسب صحيحة.

@martinruman_freediver
Huge shout out to Martin for supporting me in this world championship. Filming this video so I can share it with all of you. On that dive I was on Line C which has no dive eye to film my dive underwater. If you’re proud of the work I’m doing go give this men his flowers on his instagram!

Also huge shout out to @evolveapnea for the cute pink weight belt and amazing self equalizing googles that are game changer for thermocline! 💙

رقم قياسي وطني مطلق جديد للمغرب فأصعب تخصص فالغوص الحر: CNF 🇲🇦
37 متر ديال المتعة وكارت بيضا بجدارة! 🤍💪🏾

هاد التخصص هو الأصعب حيت هو أنقى شكل ديال الغوص الحر. كنغطسو لتحت وكنطلعو للفوق بلا ما نستاعنو بالحبل وبلا زعانف. غير نتي والما. كيحتاج تركيز كبير بزاف، التحكم فالتوتر، والقدرة على تحمّل ارتفاع ثاني أكسيد الكربون فالجسم.

علنت على عمق كثر بمتر واحد من أحسن عمق شخصي ديالي، وبـ12 متر كثر من أول رقم قياسي ديالي فـCNF مع AIDA، اللي كان 25 متر.

اخترت نزيد بشوية وبحذر، ونخرج بكارت بيضا، نحقق رقم قياسي وطني، ونحسّن الأرقام ديالي مع AIDA!

بديت كنوقع فحب هاد التخصص بصّح، ومتشوقة نمشي لأعماق كثر بنفس هاد الإحساس

Another absolute national record for Morocco in the most difficult discipline CNF. 37m of pleasure and a SOLID white card!

this discipline is the hardest simply because it is the purest form of Freediving. This is where we swim down and swim up without the help of the rope, or any fins. Just you and the water. This discipline demands an incredible amount of focus, stress management and CO2 tolerance.
More

I announced 1 m more than my pb and but 12m more than my first Aida CNF record that was sitting at 25m.

I chose to stay conservative all while getting a white card, scoring a National record and improving my Aida stats!

I’m starting to truly fall in love with this discipline and I can’t wait to go deeper with the same sensations.

@evolveapnea googles is a game changer specifically in a thermocline 🤭

May the odds forever be in your favor & let the games begin. 🚀 @aidafreediving

The Aida world championship of freediving depth 2026 has officially started in Cyprus, Limassol.

I’ve arrived on the 17th, 2 cats, 2 suit cases and nothing booked. I managed to find a cute spot I don’t have to share with anyone, got a car and started attending training.
I was warned multiple times about the Thermocline and I will always remember my first training dive where I passed the thermocline and suddenly didn’t know what to do with myself anymore.

Training has been 50/50.. after not diving for 3 years and getting straight into competition season is wild of me. This is technically the 6th competition back to back since July 2026 and it just so happens to be the WORLDS!!!!

What a blessing it is to be here and meet so many lovely divers and humans. This competition feels a little less serious to me because I feel burned out and I just want to have fun!

I will still give it my all whatever that means at this time. I’m detached of any outcome especially having sufficed the craving for more National Records as I scored 2 of them in the pre comp.

Real talk tho, I’ve had to bring my inner alchemist out. Turned bad situations into optimistic way of viewing things.
For the first time I have had issues equalizing my ears because of the cold water that makes me tense. Every challenge makes me a way better diver and human being!

Lastly, if you read all the way here leave me 🫁 in the comments and thank you to everyone who recently joined. ❤️🇲🇦🫶🏽

Some connections don’t need to be planned.

They simply flow.

Today marks my 11th National Record in freediving. They’ve been coming back to back! 🇲🇦🥰👌🏾

62m CWT. A new PB!

After three years away from diving, I returned to the water in July. Back then, reaching 50m felt crazy enough. Then 60m took me by surprise. Now I’m slowly adding meters and finding my way through the 60s.

The 70s are around the corner, but I’m in no rush. I’m enjoying the repetitions and feeling my body and mind grow more comfortable with what used to feel difficult.

I’ve also become much better at managing my nerves during competition dives. That’s a win I want to celebrate too.

It’s good to pause, see how far we’ve come, and give ourselves credit for the work it took to get here.

Practice makes perfect? Perfect isn’t a thing. I’ll keep practicing. 🇲🇦.

اليوم حققت الرقم القياسي الوطني ديالي رقم 11 فالغوص الحر! جاو واحد مور واحد 🇲🇦🥰👌🏾

62 متر فـ CWT، ورقم شخصي جديد!

من بعد 3 سنين بعيدة على الغوص، رجعت للما فشهر يوليوز. ديك الساعة، حتى نوصل لـ50 متر كانت كتبان ليا حاجة كبيرة. ومن بعد جات 60 متر وفاجأتني! ودابا كنزيد متر بمتر وكنمشي بشوية بشوية فعمق الستينات.

الـ70 متر قراب، ولكن ما عنديش الزربة. كنستمتع بالتكرار، وكنحس بجسمي وعقلي كيرتاحو أكثر مع حوايج كانو صعاب عليا من قبل.

ولاحظت حتى أنني وليت كنقدر نتحكم فالتوتر ديالي مزيان فغطسات المسابقة. وحتى هادي بالنسبة ليا إنجاز!

خاصنا نوقفو شوية، نشوفو شحال تقدمنا، ونعطيو لراسنا حقها على المجهود اللي درنا.

كيقولو التمرين كيوصل للكمال… ولكن الكمال ما كاينش. إيوا نبقاو نتمرنو! 🇲🇦

In preparation for the @aidafreediving World Championship in Limassol /

I believe this is THE BIGGEST Aida world championship ever with the most amount of athletes from around the world registered!
We meet on the beach, take a boat to where it’s deep enough for all the athletes dives and wait for our turn.

Having the opportunity to participate in a pre comp really adds to the adaptation. From getting familiar with the thermocline to getting in the competition spirit.

Pre comp is also a great way for athletes to settle scores before the main competition. If you have any records to hit or just want to train under the same rules as the main competition.

Practicing the count down, getting the tag and completing a clean surface protocol. Some also just chose to do pre comp instead of regular training as you have more safeties meeting you on your dive and for deep attempts there is a scooter safety as well. This can help lower the fear and nerves by feeling well protected in case anything goes wrong.

كنوجد لبطولة العالم ديال
@aidafreediving فليماسول 🌊

كنظن بلي هادي أكبر بطولة عالم ديال AIDA حتى لدابا، من حيث عدد الرياضيين المسجلين من مختلف أنحاء العالم!

كنجمعو فالبلاج، ومن تما كنركبو فالباطو حتى لواحد البلاصة اللي فيها العمق الكافي لجميع الغطسات، وكنستناو الدور ديالنا.

المشاركة فالبطولة التحضيرية كتعاون بزاف باش نتأقلمو: كنتعرفو على طبقة الماء البارد، اللي كنسميوها الثيرموكلاين، وكنعيشو أجواء المنافسة قبل ما تبدا البطولة الرئيسية.

وهي حتى فرصة للي باغي يحاول يحقق رقم قياسي، أو غير يتدرب بنفس القوانين ديال البطولة الرئيسية. كنتمرنو على العدّ التنازلي، ناخدو التاغ من العمق، ونكملو بروتوكول السطح بشكل صحيح.

كاينين حتى رياضيين كيفضلو البطول� by @itsabla

This dive means a lot to me as it marks the 10th national record I set. Many more to come inshallah. 🇲🇦💪🏽

I set this record in Limassol, under @aidafreediving with @free2dive_ss on the Pre comp before the World championship.

There is so much work behind these successful dives. Hours of training, coaching! Frustration and fear. Meditation and dry repetitions. So much investment both financial and emotional. Without mentioning the countless hours dedicated to this sport that keeps me away from my family & from having a job.

All my trainings have been funded by myself and family so far. I’m very grateful to be fortune enough to have gotten this far without outsourcing.

Sponsors are welcome to manifest themselves. Let’s work together to deepen this dream and eventually bring Morocco on the podium.

‏الحلقة 2 🇲🇦 | واش أي واحد يقدر يمارس الغوص الحر؟

الجواب: لا! ما خاصكش تكون رياضي محترف ولا تعرف تحبس النفس ديالك مدة طويلة باش تبدا. كاين اللي كيبدا فالمسبح، وكاين اللي كيبدا غير بتعلّم كيفاش يرتاح ويتحرك فالما

قولوا ليا فالتعليقات: واش سبق ليكم جرّبتوه، ولا باقي كتفكرو؟ 👇
