The Molchanovs Mission is to share our love of freediving with the world. We do this by cultivating the level of knowledge and skill of all freedivers, by building global and local communities that fuel passion for freediving, and by developing gear that provides the best freediving experience possible.
Our inspiration, Natalia Molchanova, is one of the greatest and most decorated freedivers in history. She was a passionate educator and a role model to many in the freediving community. Molchanovs is firmly rooted in her philosophies and approach to freediving, and is continuously updated with the latest developments in education, technology, and scientific research. We are inspired and honored to have had Natalia as our inspiration. Without her, the Molchanovs Movement would not exist today.

Kudos and congrats to Alexey! but especially to the piano man going that deep with him while simultaneously playing so beautiful, that must be a record too?

I feel like that’s when black out happens.. When there’s no more energy to ascend

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

Very few humans are capable of doing such achievement. Respect to all that broke records including this one. A remarkable endurance and a will of steel of people in the free diving community.

if your mama becomes the ocean you just go deeper to her arms maybe. Big respect! Pushing the limits beyond and beyond.

This is not an area I’ve ever looked on KZbin, so you can probably imagine my disbelief right now. Had literally no idea the human body could do this. 😮

[@Lala7Land]

In my opinion the most unbelievable fact is, that you just can go that deep by freediving but not with gas bottles 😂 people are awesome!

[@Aphobius]

@@Lala7Land You can go much deeper with "gas bottles".

[@DR_1_1]

@@Aphobius Depth records with gas are done in pressured chambers, though...

[@mariajohansson5980]

BRAVO!!! 🎉❤

[@greatleapforwards]

depth aside...4:37 with one breath is just insane

[@DR_1_1]

And it's not static, like holding your breath at your desk, swimming burns oxygen, too!

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

When I was younger and trained I could get as much as 2:45 under the water. But free diving and consuming oxygen and holding 4:37 is possible by very few people.

[@dbanks8995]

I couldn't even hold my breath from his dive

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

Going up is much more scarier to be honest and free divers do it effortless without making pause for decompresion. It's nerv breaking more at ascent then on the descent. He did it like it was a daily routine...which it is btw for those guys.😂
