00:00As you go down and down and down, the heart rate starts dropping.

00:15There's an astonishing amount of pressure exerted on the lungs.

00:19You get dizzy and have visions that are not real.

00:23Divers themselves very much downplay the danger of the sport.

00:29I'm very competitive, always have been since I was a kid.

00:32Alexei is the greatest freediver in the world.

00:36If Alexei can get all five world records within the same season,

00:40it would be something that's never been done before.

00:43My mom was my coach since the beginning.

00:45Natalia Molchanova is widely considered the greatest freediver of all time.

00:49She'd had 41 world records and 23 world titles.

00:53They were like best friends.

00:54And now Alexei is training to follow in the footsteps of his mother.

00:58But that can be dangerous.

01:0040 meters, 50, 100, 140.

01:05Natalia was teaching in Spain and went down on a fun dive,

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

01:12And I was so surprised to see Alexei was competing.

01:15I was thinking, oh my God, can you not take a year off or so?

01:20That was his way to overcome the pain.

01:24Alexei is going deeper than he has been before.

01:27He is going too far.

01:29Have you and your wife ever talked about what would happen if he did come back?

01:33No.

01:34I don't understand the reasoning for adding eight meters to a dive that you failed.

01:39Expect the dive time, four minutes.

01:42Alexei doesn't see himself in any danger.

01:45But does that Formula One driver think they could die when they get behind the wheel?

01:51There are risks we are willing to take and we get comfortable with.

01:54And because of that, we think that we're immune to them.

02:06When you have this physiological ticket to eternity, that would be addictive.
