Awesome interview, genuine nice guy. When my mate made it past 20m for the first time alexey was the first to comment and like his post, despite having nothing to do with him. The best in the world spreading information and love for free, spread the freediving love!
Great content as always Adam. It is great to see two professional freedivers sharing their perspective. Looking forward to more of such content. Cheers!
Rocking the dirty 'stache 😉 And awesome stuff I have been impressed with the fact that even though he is a world champ he still personally answers questions ie. Instagram Alexy and yourself are genuine dudes and I respect that loads .🤙🤙
ontarioclimber thank you so much bro. :) I think we both feel that if people take the time and effort to write it us that we should take a bit of time to write back
Nice to see you two together, next time interview you two can talk about some topics like: - which problems are you have at start on you free diving carrier and how you solved - what is you two prefer relaxation technique - what accident (squeeze, mustache etc.) you already got and what is you tip for the fdfamily 😉
Great video! You guys are awesome & thank you for sharing your knowledge. I agree with you Adam. I have trouble swimming in pools and I can't stay under as long when pool swimming. I think I get bored in a swimming pool because there isn't all that amazing underwater scenery to look at. When I have a specific focal point underwater such as a rocky area or a group of fish it helps a lot.
Hey Adam I'm enjoying your videos they're great! Keep it up! I have a few questions. When i'm practising my co2 tables my breathe intake sometimes causes me to yawn (this is me not in the water) I don't know if that's me doing it incorrect or stressing to much. Also whilst in the pool without fins is it best to have my tongue resting or pushing against the top of my mouth? All the best From Scotland
Well if your tongue is against the roof of your mouth it will make it easier to control the air so you dont exhale when you get large contractions. Also I wouldn't worry about yawning at all. most of the time people yawn because they are so relaxed.
Terrific! Really interesting and informative. You guys are great on the tele together:). Look forward to the next interview. Keep enjoying yourselves and inspiring us:)
thanks so much :) I sometimes struggle to get back to comments all the time so the best thing to do would be to email me at adam.thomas.stern@gmail.com and i can send you all the info :)
wolfboy gammer it's hard to say because they sell different things in different countries but just grab a mask that is comfortable for your face and some plastic long fins :)
man please do not look for cheap beacuse chap is always more expensive... fins plastic for beginers, Beuchat mondial elite, OMER stingray, cressi gara modular or mares razor about 80 euros.... masks aqualung micromask 60 euros or Mares viper 40 euros.
Hi my name is Archie and I wanna take up freediving but I can't afford it because I am only 15 and I don't really live in the best place possible so do you have any recommendations on where in the uk I can dive or learn to dive relatively cheep?
Nice interview, congrats! I am most interested in medical/technical aspects of freediving. I have a question, therefore: did anyone actually measure the heart rate during freediving competition? I know, in a pool in calm and relaxed environment the heart rate can go below 40 (and mine was even 28 one time), but it should be a completely different thing when you have to swim down and up during a competitive dive.
yes several people have measured their heart rates during deep dives. I don't know any of the results off hand and i've never done it but there is a fair bit of data floating around on it
Hi Adam I'd love to see more videos like this. It's very exiting when I see a professionals talking about their experiences.It makes things very easier to understand and gives a point of where to start and what to do and do them right. Best wishes I'll be waiting for your next video. I've never dived more than 5 meters 😂😂 But I bought all the necessary equipment and I will update you of my first dive. Your opinion is very important to me and many other divers.
Adam i love your Chanel and you really inspired me to freedive when i can but i need to know what wrist watch do you use for diving , im thinking for g-shock
Thanks heaps! I havent done a maximum static breath hold for 5 years but back then it was six and a half minutes. I just focus on depth now and static breath hold doesn't really help for that
ma nu none actually. We have people of all skill levels coming. Some have never dives before and some will be preparing for 40-50m dives it's a nice big mix :)
I know why 5 min is for most people goal, its actualy time when you can go deep lets say 20m and then you still have time to look around. Its not that fun when you go deep and then u have no time to look around :D
Also the record holder for wearing the shortest male shorts :)
hahahaha yes! he seriously only wears short shorts!
Amazing how Alexey still keep on after his mother passed away! Very strong individual! Both of you keep safe!
He definitely is :) we will! thank you :)

thanks heaps brother! I have honestly found that the kinder and humbler the person the better the diver :)
A conversation with the world's shallowest diver next please!
Thanks for the interview Adam keep the good stuff up. Waiting for more 👍
AMER ALREFAI thank you! 😊 more coming for sure. I want to start making a video explaining competition diving
Great content as always Adam. It is great to see two professional freedivers sharing their perspective. Looking forward to more of such content. Cheers!
Jithin Gopinadhan thanks so much! So happy you enjoyed it :)
I do like the both of you talking - and especially enjoyed the moment, you were giggeling, when Alexey mentioned to be modest ! :-)
Thanks so much! Alexey is a modest man! haha :)
Great vid Adam answered all my questions, this is just what I had in mind, wish you well!
tristan l perfect! Thanks so much :)
Nice interview :) are you planning more interviews like that?
Looking forward for deepweek with you two
thanks Jeremy! I've already interviewed a few other athletes, i just have to edit those videos now and put them up :)
Great video buddy.
Awesome to see Alexey first hand in his latest record attempt.... Shortest shorts ever seen on youtube!
hahahahahah you're lucky it was only the shorts! he wears his speedos around the house everyday haha!
great vid, I will love to see more of this kind of content

Thanks for the interview!
So so welcome :)
You Guys Are my ROLE MODEL! LEGENDS

Ori Levin hey Ori :) flick me an email to Adam.thomas.stern@gmail.com and I'll send you a brochure with all the details
Nice. The secret is wearing short shorts :D
The Russian team won the world championships in 2014 and they all wore short shorts....Alexey continues the tradition hahahaha
Adam Freediver that explains why 😊. Cheers to both champions. Thank you and regards from Moalboal Cebu, Philippines

3joern oh nice! Good questions I'll ask them in the next interview
Cant wait for November!
Chris Bradbury ah yeah it's on!
Great video! You guys are awesome & thank you for sharing your knowledge.

thanks so much! yeah pools are definitely boring haha and chlorine is never fun :)

19:30 great question! And wonderful response. Any sport can be enjoyed recreationally or as an athlete. ♡ So true. And the safer the better.
2:55 Tropical bird reacts to Adam's laughter
Totally agree on the pool point, its painful and never fun
Terrific! Really interesting and informative. You guys are great on the tele together:). Look forward to the next interview. Keep enjoying yourselves and inspiring us:)
Fiona Horne thanks so much Fiona! So happy you liked it 😊 I'll do some more interviews then!

Alexey is a very cool man. Interesting, kind and just nice person.
Hello from Moscow! ))
Ярослав Козлов thank you so much! 😊 he definitely is
Adam im looking to start free diving any (cheap) fin/mask recommendations
wolfboy gammer it's hard to say because they sell different things in different countries but just grab a mask that is comfortable for your face and some plastic long fins :)
Adam Freediver thanks for the help im glad you replyed : )
poolehart I guess you got a point 😂😂😂
man please do not look for cheap beacuse chap is always more expensive... fins plastic for beginers, Beuchat mondial elite, OMER stingray, cressi gara modular or mares razor about 80 euros.... masks aqualung micromask 60 euros or Mares viper 40 euros.

Thank you Adam ..see you there
Can't wait for a follow up, super interesting!
Good to know! thank you :)
Hi my name is Archie and I wanna take up freediving but I can't afford it because I am only 15 and I don't really live in the best place possible so do you have any recommendations on where in the uk I can dive or learn to dive relatively cheep?
the best thing to do would be to join a freediving club :) there are many in the UK and then when you're ready you can take a course
Smashed VB again Alexey, good job! Great vid Adam!
Nice interview, congrats! I am most interested in medical/technical aspects of freediving. I have a question, therefore: did anyone actually measure the heart rate during freediving competition?

Hi Adam
I'd love to see more videos like this.
It's very exiting when I see a professionals talking about their experiences.It makes things very easier to understand and gives a point of where to start and what to do and do them right. Best wishes
I'll be waiting for your next video.
I've never dived more than 5 meters 😂😂
But I bought all the necessary equipment and I will update you of my first dive. Your opinion is very important to me and many other divers.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you liked this video :) I'd love to hear about your first dive. Please let me know when you go for it
Adam i love your Chanel and you really inspired me to freedive when i can but i need to know what wrist watch do you use for diving , im thinking for g-shock
I am from Russia originally and living in Sydney especially enjoyed to watch this interview of you two good looking champions! 😀👍
How should I get into freediving?
Michael Joseph you should start with snorkeling and breath hold, that's how I got in to it but that's my opinion
I think the best way is to simply take a freediving course :) you'll learn everything you need to know
Adam Freediver can you recommend any courses in Sydney?
Will they often be offered along with skuba diving courses?
Michael I actually teach courses in Sydney. Flick me an email and I'll give you all the details Adam.thomas.stern@gmail.com
Adam, for how long can you hold your breath? Amazing channel :D
Thanks heaps! I havent done a maximum static breath hold for 5 years but back then it was six and a half minutes. I just focus on depth now and static breath hold doesn't really help for that
🖐🇲🇽 Sorry, how tall is Alexey Molchanov ?
Great video! Just wondering what type of watch you have?
The watch i'm wearing in this video is a Suunto D6i :)
Adam Freediver Thanks!
Both of you are awesome.
thanks so much!
Congratulations!
OTOH sports(wo)men are superstitious bunch. You won't get any interview before comps soon 😀
hahahahah I know it's been tough to get them on camera haha
What qualification would one need to take part in the camp?
ma nu none actually. We have people of all skill levels coming. Some have never dives before and some will be preparing for 40-50m dives it's a nice big mix :)
sweet thx.
where can we all apply?
If you send me an email to adam.thomas.stern@gmail.com I can send you all the details! :)
How tall are you??
six foot
You can see the tan line on Alexey’s face from his suit 😂
hahahah We always have terrible tans
You been smoking some?
only after the comp ;)
I know why 5 min is for most people goal, its actualy time when you can go deep lets say 20m and then you still have time to look around.
Its not that fun when you go deep and then u have no time to look around :D
BrodeOne perhaps but static breath hold doesn't really assist in your diving ability besides making you more comfortable with contractions etc
It is if she's not a looker, head down and do what ya got to do.
hahahahaha
You know he's good when he's got mask-and-suit-shaped tan lines on his face.
the black t-shirt guys stoned or something like that
omg
:)
ruski brat :-)
Ivan Lekovic hahahahaha
you understand :-) ?
i definitely do :)
