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?

Hello, freedivers! It’s Asja Kleshchevnikova and Kristina Zvaritch again, and we will continue reporting to you on the freediving marathon. The CMAS Freediving Indoor World Championship concluded on June 15th, and on June 20th, the first competition day of the 28th AIDA World Championship begins. Most of the strong athletes moved from the pool in Belgrade to the pool in Burgas, this time to compete according to AIDA rules.

My name is Asya, as some of you may already know from the sports reports on molchanovs.com last year covering the CMAS Freediving Indoor and Outdoor Championships, Vertical Blue, and other remarkable freediving competitions. This year, on behalf of the Molchanovs International team, editor Kristina Zvaritch and I are cooperating with CMAS to report on the 2022 CMAS Freediving Indoor World Championship on CMAS social media.

When you hear the word freediving, what image comes to mind?
For many of us at Molchanovs International, we picture Alexey Molchanov, our co-founder, diving an incredible 131m (430ft) of depth wearing his signature gold-accented monofin. The monofin itself is a perfect representation of grace, speed, and depth as its shape is so similar to that of sea mammals, our very distant diving cousins. Molchanovs International is also well-known for the monofin, which was the first piece of freediving equipment created by Alexey and his mother, Natalia Molchanova, even before the Molchanovs International brand was created in 2010. Since the birth of the Molchanovs monofin, dozens of national and world records have been set with it.

Molchanovs is perhaps best well-known for our line of monofins, which have assisted a countless number of freediving athletes in setting many national and world records. Since monofins are the most powerful propulsive tool freedivers can use in competitions, an infinite number of hours are consistently being spent attempting to perfect this favorite piece of freediving equipment. This is why we would like to share with you the general history of monofins and our own personal journey with them.
