Russian freediver Alexei Molchanov dove to 131 meters using a monofin in the Constant Weight (CWT) category in Rimini, Italy, in July 2023, setting a world record. CWT requires the diver to descend and ascend using only muscular effort and a monofin -- no sleds or buoyancy aids -- and is often called the purest discipline in freediving. Molchanov is the son of legendary freediver Natalia Molchanova and has come to dominate the sport in her legacy. At 131 meters the water pressure is 14 times that at the surface, compressing the lungs to the size of a fist.
