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.

Legend says he haven't even taken an inhalation during all this advice session.

Super interesting! I thought naively that free diving was just all about holding your breath as long as possible.
I never knew that the ability to relax plays such an important role.

Bravo pour votre performance j’espère que un jour cette discipline sera au jeu olympique

Thank’s for your experienced feedback! I would suggest a short exercice you have to improvise while doing a daily task and whatever the task (washing plates, fixing a shelf…): hold your breath about one minute ore more while doing this because the goal is to complete the task while ''freediving''. You may also visualize underwater: your life depend of the success so you will observe from time to time you’re drowned dead!…

So many questions - does Alexey exhale before going under? if not, does he let air out during the journey down and back? and I assume he has the headlamp to see the line. his eyes are closed most of the time though - does he close his eyes the whole time? wild stuff! great video - world peace to everyone 🙏🏻

i don't fully understand the idea of mindset. If i go for PB i am often little stressed and i dont know how to overcome this. I train relaxation but in pool and sea it doesnt work.

Hi Alexei I got my bi fin and after 19th finish hope so the court sheet. So I don t know he ow long I will spend to leave to french polinesia Australia new Zealand better than Nassau. Dean's hole. Because in dean a hole for freediving ok. But for having a life without agressions? Where I should go? Hugs. Kissess and so on so on.

[kervypaham]

I think a lot of people came here new to freediving, expecting to get some "hacks" to instantly extend their breath hold. That includes me 🤣

[ashleyc]
