00:00I'm going to be there.

00:17As you go down and down and

00:18down, the heart rate starts

00:19dropping.

00:20There's an astonishing amount

00:21of pressure exerted on the

00:22lungs.

00:23You get dizzy and have lesions

00:25that are not real.

00:27Divers themselves very much

00:29I'm very competitive.

00:30Always have been since I was a

00:32kid.

00:33Alexei is the greatest

00:34freediver in the world.

00:36If Alexei can get all five

00:38world records within the same

00:39season, it would be something

00:41that's never been done before.

00:43My mom was my coach since the

00:44beginning.

00:45Natalia Molchanova is widely

00:46considered the greatest

00:47freediver of all time.

00:49She'd had 41 world records and

00:5123 world titles.

00:53They were like best friends,

00:54and now Alexei is training to

00:56follow in the footsteps of

00:58his mother.

00:59But that can be dangerous.

01:0140 meters, 50, 100, 140.

01:06Natalia was teaching in Spain

01:08and went down on a fun dive,

01:10and she didn't come back up.

01:12And I was so surprised to see

01:14Alexei was competing.

01:15I was thinking, oh, my God, can

01:17you not take a year off or so?

01:20That was his way to overcome

01:23the pain.

01:24Alexei is going deeper than he

01:26has been before.

01:27He is going too far.

01:29Have you and your wife ever

01:30talked about what would happen

01:31if you didn't come back?

01:33No.

01:34I don't understand the reasoning

01:36for adding eight meters to a

01:39dive that you failed.

01:41Expect a dive time, four

01:42minutes.

01:43Alexei doesn't see himself in

01:45any danger, but does that

01:47Formula One driver think they

01:49could die when they get behind

01:50the wheel?

01:52There are risks we are willing

01:53to take and we get comfortable

01:55with, and because of that, we

01:57don't think that we are immune

01:58to them.

02:07When you have this

02:08physiological ticket to

02:09eternity, that would be

02:11addictive.
