AFC is the largest freediving tournament in Asia since 2014, offering a platform for divers of all skill levels to showcase their prowess, held in Panglao Bohol from June 10-18, 2023.  

Recognising the extraordinary feats that divers achieve during the AFC, HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate further empowers the event as the Official Sponsor. 

“The HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate looks great and offers many functions a serious freediver wants and much more. It tracks and provides me with details about each of my dives so that I can review and plan for my next session. There is also a hang timer, it’s perfect for hangs — it’s a cool feature I have not seen in other dive watches.”  said Oliver Lu Qing, Co-Founder of Freedive SuperHOME.

With HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate, Sendoh received accurate and vital information he need to maximize his performance and safety when using dive mode and other underwater monitoring capabilities. Not only that, the watch’s ISO 22810 water resistance standard and EN13319 certification delivers ultimate endurance as Sendoh dives past the 100-meter depth as he proceeds to break the Asian record.
