[@xremming]

[@uandi7709]

That are silicone

[@tubelator]

Question. Does he have his eyes open near the end?

[@kiki-ej2sb]

I have question 🙋🏻‍♀️ it’s ok that he diving over 4’10” ? What’s the meaning of dividing time? For safety or what

[@Dexmetal100]

good question! i asked myself the same. would appreciate an answer

[@uandi7709]

Yes for safety divers to know when they should start diving to meet him and to know if something went wrong because not in all competitions have under water cameras

[@kiki-ej2sb]

@@uandi7709 thanks 😊

[@steeler16fitzy16]

This dude is absolutely amazing!!!! I just discovered this world of free diving. Amazing what humans with push themselves to!!! The coverage you guys have provided is stunning!!! As I've been watching I've been trying to pick up on the rules, and was wondering could anyone explain the use of the guideline. Seemed that the divers can't use the line for any assistance besides the one style. Is there a rule that in the candy cane area you are allowed?

[@scratch009]

All i know is splashing the diver in the end is mandatory 😃👌🏽

[@michaelmccluskey2044]

There are different categories, in a similar way to their being different disciplines in swimming. The one where they use the line is called "free immersion", or FIM. The one where they use fins is called "constant weight" or CWT, and without fins is called "constant weight no fins" or CNF. In CWT and CNF, they are allowed to pull on the line once as they turn around at the bottom, but other than that they are not allowed to use it for assistance. They are however attached to it for safety.

[@Lev.com123]

What fins was he using?

@@lincoln78 thanks, but my question was which stiffness level of the blades Alexey used for his dive. Soft, medium or hard? I guess only Alexey can tell :)
