The first place before Molčanov was held by Australian Ant Williams, who in 2019 in Norway plunged under the ice in a constant load with fins to a depth of 75 meters. Molčanov added another five meters in the CWT category on Tuesday in Baikal.
The attempt took him 2 minutes and 53 seconds. “It was very dark downstairs. The closer you get to the bottom, the more sounds you hear, “he told Tass after a successful attempt.
“I usually dive in warm waters. It’s different here. At some point, I began to decline spontaneously. From a depth of 20 meters I no longer had to move. But it was even harder to get to the top, “Molčanov commented on his attempt.
