Archana Sankaranarayanan is selected as the first Indian AIDA judge for an international depth freediving competition, according to multiple reports. The selection marks a milestone for Indian representation in AIDA’s judging panel for depth freediving events.
The articles describe her appointment as recognition of her role within the freediving community and her eligibility to officiate at an international level. While both outlets report the same core development—her selection as an AIDA judge and the significance of being the first Indian to receive the role—they do not provide additional, outlet-specific details such as the event location, dates, or the broader judging team. The emphasis across coverage is on her achievement and its historic nature for India in AIDA-affiliated depth freediving judging.
