    Isn't it amazing that we live in a time where freediving is still in a process of gaining knowledge, pushing limits and new records? History in the making.

    now, think about your affectionate freediver spearfisher who regularly posts 50 meters dives video on RUclips with his fat friend or dad on the boat, if not alone. Sea maybe is the most important passion of my life, but when it comes to diving there's only one word: SAFETY! Thank you for your work! All the best

    It would also be interesting if you could share with us how the process of overcoming a blackout mentally in such a difficult discipline like CNF. Personally, after my blackout, I feel a lot of fear about trying to reach my depth again

      @@MolchanovsFreediving Yes, that's great idea and looking forward to that. I have a friend who had a massive black out attempting DNF during a comp, and he could not mentally recover from it. He excelled in static and DYNB, was already unofficially breaking our National Records during training, but could never get back into no fins.

    Something that I appreciate so much from a seasoned and experienced athlete like Alexey is that he considers what a good number FOR HIM is. He said that reaching 20m in 6 cycles was a good number for HIM not for everyone. A great reminder that in freediving, we are all individuals and need to find was it optimum and efficient for us rather than forcing ourselves to meet another person's standard.

    I used to free dive in Qatar as a teenager when I went to see my Dad on holiday whilst he was working. I used to dive quite deep in the warm water and luckily I never had an issue yet I knew nothing about blackouts at the time. Now having all this information I am left cold with the thought of what could have happened. I just assumed the only way you could drown was if you breathed water when your lungs were bursting for air: Mostly alone too.. Der!! I remember some of the Arab kids used to trap air in their T-shirt and gobble mouthfuls on their way up and thought why would they do that if they were swimming to the surface anyway. Kind of makes sense now.

    7:40 I'm curios to know why the safety divers grabbed your mouth and kept your head up. Is this to keep your mouth shut so you don't intake water? I know nothing about diving, but this video popped up on my feed so please excuse my ignorance.

    • @MolchanovsFreediving
      @MolchanovsFreediving  5 дней назад +1

    At what depths did you dive to train for this one?

  • @elseradtke5969
    @elseradtke5969 Месяц назад

    I have a question. Wouldn't it be easier and safer if the safety divers had air tanks and could give you air through the second mouth piece? That way they could also come all the way down with you, not only the top 30m. I don't know much about diving, so sorry if there is a really simple reason I am missing. Just curious because it seams a lot safer to have them all the way with you

    • @kealanmannix4146
      @kealanmannix4146 24 дня назад

      Once you have air tanks i think u get the benz from rapid ascents so they wouldnt be able to go down and up at that speed. I dont know what depths you can go to with tanks before needing to decompress but i think thats why.

    Once you get knocked out, the easier it is to get knocked out the next time. Glad you're alright man. If you ever just want to have fun, you should make some videos diving some wrecks or cool dive stops. Hit up NOX! You guys would be rad!

      @burninatorthetrogdor why is it easier to get knocked out the second time?

    • @MolchanovsFreediving
      @MolchanovsFreediving  Месяц назад +1

      We're not big experts in fighting knockouts, but in freediving - it's not the case. One blackout doesn't make it more likely to get another one

    • @BurninatorTheTrogdor
      @BurninatorTheTrogdor Месяц назад

      @TheSchneeeewitttchen When you damage your brain by depriving it of oxygen, you're more susceptible. Otherwise, you could just continue diving. It isn't rocket science.
