Freediving Gear Guides
Freediving is not all about training and competing - it’s mostly about exploration, especially exploring the underwater world. But not all bifins are designed for the same purposes, which is why we created a complete guide to Molchanovs freediving bifins. In this post, we’re taking a closer look at the features that make bifins fun dive-able and which Molchanovs fins suit the purpose.

Traveling with freediving equipment can become a headache, especially with uniquely shaped equipment such as freediving bifins and monofins. Apart from finding a case or a bag that will fit them, you also need to take into account the material of the blade (plastic, fiberglass, or carbon fiber), what type of traveling you are doing with the bag, what other equipment you will transport with it, and how much protection you require.

As a freediver progresses on their freediving journey, the list of equipment they need tends to grow. Freediving certification courses slowly introduce you to deeper depths and fill you with more knowledge and safety information, but you might need some more equipment to reach those depths safely. Along with the basic equipment a freediver needs, what other gear might you need to consider purchasing in the future?

Freediving with a monofin is a completely unique experience, as many freedivers will tell you. Some might even say that it is freediving in its purest form, giving humans the silhouette of sea mammals - the very first freedivers on earth! Alexey Molchanov recognized that freedivers needed another option with monofins - one that lets freedivers experience, learn, and train proper monofin technique with more power and propulsion than short bifins provide (which are often used to train the monofin basics). And so, the CORE Silicone Monofin was developed. So why does every freediver need one?
