Alexey Molchanov (INT) set his 40th World Record diving to a depth of 126m (413ft) with bifins on September 26th 2025, in Limassol, Cyprus during the 35th AIDA Freediving World Championship.
The incredible accomplishment matches the World Record of friend and French athlete, Arnaud Jerald, who earlier in the year set the same record in Molchanovs PRO Bifins 3.
This makes both Molchanovs PRO Hyper Bifins and PRO Bifins 3 the deepest bifins in the world at equal depths.
Congratulations Alexey!

The Molchanovs Mission is to share our love of freediving with the world. We do this by cultivating the level of knowledge and skill of all freedivers, by building global and local communities that fuel passion for freediving, and by developing gear that provides the best freediving experience possible.
Our inspiration, Natalia Molchanova, is one of the greatest and most decorated freedivers in history. She was a passionate educator and a role model to many in the freediving community. Molchanovs is firmly rooted in her philosophies and approach to freediving, and is continuously updated with the latest developments in education, technology, and scientific research. We are inspired and honored to have had Natalia as our inspiration. Without her, the Molchanovs Movement would not exist today.
