Episode 101 - Freediving Champion, & ocean ambassador, Alexey Molchanov

Alexey Molchanov is a (“the”...even) champion freediver.

He is a 34-time world champion, world record holder, and freediving promoter. In 2023 he set an absolute record in competitive freediving, diving to a seemingly unfathomable depth of 136 meters!

In 2020, he earned a Guinness World Record for longest recorded dive under ice of 181 metres!

In March 2021, Molchanov dived 80 meters (straight down this time!)  beneath the one-metre-thick icy surface and back up on a single breath. In the process, he broke another world record: the deepest free dive under ice with fins. He also became an ambassador of the Lake Baikal Foundation  

In the year 2023, he set 7 world records.

Alexey competes all over the world & is actively involved in environmental issues and water purification. He is often called an “ocean ambassador”, due to his guardianship of the oceans around the world. Also in the last few years, Alexey has become interested in underwater photography, his work can be seen at exhibitions and on the Internet.

Alexey Molchanov also acts as a speaker and conducts master classes on freediving technologies for working with stress, as well as self-control and the use of breathing practices in everyday life to form a resilient & productive internal state.

In this explorative conversation with Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics he shares the mindset to become a repeat world champion, the mind game & physical attributes of diving to 136 metres with one breath, and his goal to break another world record in 2024
