Here’s What It Looks Like to Set a Freediving World Record at 130 Meters

To most of us normal humans, freediving that deep looks absolutely terrifying.

Alexey Molchanov likes to go deep. Like, really deep. The Russian freediver seemingly sets a new world record every other week.

Above is a brief look at the 31-year-old’s attempt at a world record in the Bahamas. To most normal humans, it looks absolutely terrifying. Below, you can see another record from Molchanov set last July.
