The deepest man in the world freediving in Dahab
HTML-код

- Alexey Molchanov is a multiple world record holding freediver and co-founder of the Molchanovs, a freediving education system: molchanovs.com/
They also develop freediving equipment - the suit and the fins he wears are all by Molchanovs.
When Alexey is not training, teaching or developing new products, he likes to explore underwater and take photos. Here he is playing around in Lighthouse, Dahab, a popular freediving destination in Egypt.
Music is "Beyond here" by Salt of the Sound.

Yes, there are freedivers who have gone deeper: Herbert Nitsch went to 214 meters - on a sled, brought back up by a balloon. But in the self-propelled category of freediving, Alexey is the deepest, with a dive to 130 meters.
so beautiful thanks for sharing
Daan Verhoeven how many minutes you know?
let me check
3 minutes 55 sseconds
Absolutely incredible... I wish I could freedive deeper than 20 meters... sadly descending head-down makes equalizing almost impossible for me, despite having practiced with Andrea Zuccari's already years ago, numerous more modern tutorials on improving equalizing techniques and being able to Frenzel head-up :(
I'm most impressed by the fish that built the elephant
I’m more impressed by the elephant that built the fish
so overrated
😂😂😂
I'm in awe of his form when he swims past you at the start of the video. Brilliant capture Daan
thank you - his technique is immaculate, isn't it?
@@DaanVerhoeven definitely 💯
Probably the most perfect monofinkick I've seen, perfect line.
The man from Atlantis ain't got shit on him xD
The ocean is filled with alot of strange things, we are the strangest.
Eh
In the ocean?? And what's your measuring scale?
No. There are totally freaky things in the ocean. Some of the creatures look like they all should be wiped out.
In the Ocean ?!!🙄🙄 ..This is Dahab in the Red sea Egypt
@@lottnio8207 Nah, they Just adapted to the habitat, whats wrong with u wanting to kill them?
Conversations with him must be exhausting...
As he’s so damn deep!!!!
conversations are mostly bubbles, and hard to hear
Daan Verhoeven yep.
Guess we’ll see what...
Bubbles up!
@@TheBrendon67 bruhhuhhhhh
and full of hot air :)
He swims soo elegantly. It's actually art
yes, he's pretty incredible!
best professional photographer
welcome to Egypt bro
Thank you Ramy!
I felt like I was going to drown watching this video. That’s incredible how he can hold his breath that long.
yes, he's the world record holder for a reason!
Non mi stanco mai di vedere le vostre immagini c'è sempre qualcosa di magico.....
Thank you - that's very nice to read! I think when you have an eye for magic, you see it everywhere
@@DaanVerhoeven 👍
welcome to egypt! ❤️ and for the watchers Dahab means gold in arabic FYI💕it is a truely magnificent place
thank you - did not know that about Dahab!
Those videos fullfill my heart with joy. Amazing! Beautiful!
You are so kind!
Relaxis my mind watching and hearing the sounds. Your the best as always.✔✔✔
thank you Ren!
Леша молодец! Спасибо большое за видео, Даан!
our pleasure!
Alexey you ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO DAHAB EGYPT. ❤️🇪🇬
he's there quite regularly!
Respect to that camera man who I assume is also free diving...
👏👏👏
Thank you! Yes, i was freediving too - can't keep up with Alexey, though!
@@DaanVerhoeven how can you keep that long under water you lungs must be realy big
That visibility is astonishing.- I scuba dive in Sweden
yes, i normally dive in Cornwall, so this was pretty sweet!
Amei demais teu canal, amo os oceanos, se eu pudesse viver assim não pensaria duas vezes, é tão calmo debaixo da água, e existem lugares extremamente lindos, sempre me sinto em paz em lugares assim, very nice 🍃🌊
Wow to have that control, to be able to hold your breath that long, to see what the rest of the world only sees via a tv or computer screen...You take my breath away!
it's a pretty epic sport!
Beautiful. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Bruh props to this man ....it's freaking hard to do this ..to keep the posture, maintain the balance and speed bruv
yes, he's a world champion for a reason - trains like a beast!
The ocean is very deep. So is this man!
Amazing dive and footage. Thank you for sharing.
pleasure!
Absolutely breathtaking! So peaceful.
Thank you!
Visibility in Dahab is out of the this world. Underwater is actually more clear than above
Ask Dan . But there's actually a bunch of treatment to adjust colour, making particles disappear etc. Water is clear but not unreal
@@franckdebank not sure what you’re talking about mate. And it’s kinda unreal too.
I'm guessing you'd have to be REALLY comfortable having your feet tethered together like that to go down that deep for that long.....respect!
most people find the breath hold the most uncomfortable - those monofins are pretty sweet once you get used to them
I would really like to start figuring out where I can go try and take a class for this.
Dahab
Do you live by any beaches
Dive shop
search Freedive PADI classes near me! I'm taking one this month! Good luck
I am impressed by his cameraman
thank you!
Заметен СОВЕТСКИЙ СТИЛЬ ! Учил меня Дмитрий Филашов ! в 80х Москва!
This is amazing😍
Thank you!
X-wing training ground on the ocean floor - didn't expect that.
next time we'll bring lasers!
Absolutely Amazing ❤️
Wow. Simply beautiful!
very, very.....free! Bellissimo.
Grazi!
This is really just land and he and the cameraman are in creative mode
hahaha, yes, Alexey can fly!
amazing visibility
Man, your videos are the best!! As soon as I see a new one I click it faster than the light. I don't know if I'm subscribed to your channel yet, if I am, I will unsubscribe to do it again :)
hahaha, thank you Jin!
Magnificent, thanks Daan & Alexey.
Thank you!
Amazing... it's another world underwater.
I recomend anyone to give scuba diving a try, you won't be disappointed!
Welcome to dahab, south saini , Egypt 🤩
Thank you!
My 1st time out of country was to go to South Sinai. I was stationed at the MFO camp. Learned to appreciate different cultures and beautiful blue water! And there was sand ..... LOTS of sand! I SO wish I could have dived while there! One day!
@@2LStews the contrast between the barren red dessert and the lively blue sea there is incredible - worth a trip to see it!
The camera man is the deepest man in the world
hahaha, i do have a world record deepest tutu!
He moves like water! Nice video Daan!!!!
he really does - thank you Luke!
Absolutely amazing!!! 😎👍
thank you👌🏽
How beautiful is Dahab ❤️❤️

Egypt, there are even more exciting places than the lighthouse diving area
Amazing 🤗

Super cool, fresh and pacifying Video!!!
Thank you!
Free man chapeau frome Morocco 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Amazing as always, Daan. How deep was that elephant sculpture? I've seen a few pictures of it on insta recently.
Thank you - it's at 26 meters
Fantastic work Daan. Bravo Brother!
Thank you Eric!
Nice job Daan. You're the Don!
Don Daan! I like that
⛩️Your pictures are magic🕵️
Superathletes at amazing site kinda fairy market, wow🎩💪🏼
Very cool!!!
Thank you!
دهب من اجمل اماكن الغطس في مصر وفي العالم 🌏 🇪🇬
agreed!
What's up with the little double sided g string he always wears? Is it some type of freediving thing???
try and design a suit that won't let any water in, has no zippers, is hydrodynamic, and keeps us warm - it's a natural consequence of the needs of a freediver and the characteristics of the material. On certain suits and on certain bodies it just looks more pronounced.
He just like the extra tug on his you know what
@@AOmega72 The "G-String" is just to keep the upper-body-suit down in the most economical way. How else would you do it?
Homophobic
Yeah it’s a suit thing
Супер👍
И самое интересное, почему так мало просмотров?
Видео действительно пушка.
thank you - and it's only been out for a couple of hours, so the view count will hopefully increase
Very nice pictures well done - thank you🐳
thank you!
Person: let’s do this together
Me: ok
Also me: 17 second later “asthma pump” 🙄 LOL
How.. I mean HOW is this even possible. Anyhow, once again this was breathtaking, LITERALLY! Lol.
hahaha! Yes, it's kind of incredible what you can do with some training - take a freediving course and find out - might be even mor than 17 seconds!
Daan Verhoeven The funny part of it is that I LOVE diving. But for now I’ll enjoy watching you. Amazing!!!!!
We need a mermaid tutorial now!!!
hahaha, from Alexey? Not sure if he would don the shells!
Great video
Thanks!
You are amazing, i love that
thank you!
Beautiful Video but missleading titel. The title "Deepest man in the World" belongs to Herbert Nitsch
thank you - the first, pinned comment goes into that.
@@DaanVerhoeven Sry, my mistake
i don't know why, but in my head, there is a great white flying by ~.~
oooh that would be cool! I've swam with a tiger shark but not with a great white yet.
Amazing 🤩
Thank you!
ОТЛИЧНОЕ ВИДЕО
Muy bonitas monoaletas, en méxico me ha sido imposible conseguir unas
gracias!
Mesmerizing footage! Well done.
Thank you!
Your Dolphin kick is amazing .
he's one of the best!
Such a relaxing film! Excellent work. What camera was used in this video? I saw below you’re rocking a 20mm 1.4 and 14mm 1.8. I’ve got an A7iii and am looking to pick up an underwater housing to begin filming below the surface. Thanks!
shot on an A7R ii - check out Nauticam, they make excellent housings!
Daan Verhoeven thanks! I’ll be sure to check them out. How has autofocus been on the sigma lenses? I’ve also been considering grabbing the Sony 24 1.4 gm for dives
good - been using the metabones adapter and it works. Not as fast as native glass, but i rarely miss out. The 24 could be interesting - maybe a touch narrow? I've shot with a 35 and they are lovely but tricky to shoot with.
Daan Verhoeven interesting to hear, I’ll have to look into the 20mm, it’s much better for the wallet haha. Last question, what’re your go to resolutions and frame rates? Thanks for all of your help!
i like shooting in 4K as it gives me a whole lot of info to play with in case i want to crop. My camera doesn't do massive slomo, so i tend to keep it at 25 or 30 fps
Wow👍 Amazing people 👍💐
Amazing!!!
thank you!
I miss dahab
same here
Great video Daan!!! I knew that your camera preference was an A7Rii at that date (did it change over time?). What was the camera prefence of Alexey on that dive?
Alexey and i both film with Sony A7R's - i think he has the IV now? I'm still on the II, waiting to buy the IV till i see what they do with the A7S III (and till this virus blows over).
how long can u stay under water, its really cool to experience the things normal people cant see.
Awesome video Sir.
Amazing,though why didn't we get from the Divers' perspective while he was filming. Felt like a missing part
Thank you - will keep that in mind
Amazing light!
so lovely - we waited for the right time of day
@@DaanVerhoeven what time of the day it was?
late afternoon, round 5 ish
@@DaanVerhoeven golden hour!
Is that Ambient lights? Amazing!
yes, nothing but natural light and a good lens!
What lens? love your videos man!
Im using a6400 and sigma 16mm f1.4
Would you suggest for me to save up for the sony 10-18mm?
Thanks for replying! 😊
The Sigma 20mm f1.4 and the Sigma 14mm f1.8. And yes, the Sony 10-18 is a very nice, versatile lens which will serve you well underwater.
1:22 Looks like he's taking a Jojo pose before doing something sick
ゴゴゴゴ...
Underwater is a whole different planet
yes it is!
Amazing sliding and great shape! I know Alexey and he also good teacher) Thank you for video which inspires me! On my channel there are some videos about my freediving also 💙🏊♂️
I'll check it out!
So there’s obstacle courses in the ocean now?
they're so much fun!
I cant wave my body like that in air also, let alone do it in water
yes, he has amazing control

agreed!
Awe inspiring footage as always. Is this your job? Sounds like a dream come true. I’ve been binge watching your vids and you’ve inspired me to create something a bit more artistic than action focused. Trouble is I’ve only got a GoPro, but it’s better than nothing.
glad to read it - you can get really artistic with a gopro, just think of funky angles you can get with such a small and light camera
Good to know, I'll try thinking outside the box with GoPros then. I'll comment on one of your videos again sometime when my arty video is uploaded. Thanks for replying!
Sooooooo..amazing
thank you!
Great video. Congratulations
Thank you!
Very Impressive!! How deep did you go?
the elephant is at 26 meters, i think
Well that was she said 😉😉😉
huhuhuh
I thought that title belongs to herbert nitsch 😉, breathtaking video by the way.
Herbert is deepest with a sled, Alexey is deepest with a monofin
Wow. Nice.
Thank you!
Алексей супер!
agreed!

I’m a huge fan of those whale fins.
they are so nice to swim with! They're called monofins, btw.
Oh ok
Фантастика!!!!

Nice video sir. Have you ever been to Kas/Turkey?
thank you - not yet! I'd love to, though
I thought he's wearing only a string for at least 30s, man that tricked me
yes, a lot of people thought they saw that! I think i'm too used to these wetsuits to notice.
🧡🙏🙌Beautifull!! I want to do this to !!😍
do it! Take a freediving course!
Lugar bonito esse aí.
круто. А где именно в Дахабе?
Ты как дельфин в родной стихии.
he really is!
What about Gullium nery?
Guillaume is a very good freediver, one of the best for sure. His deepest successful dive was 126 meters, Alexey has done 130.
