Breaking Barriers in Freediving: Meet Alexander Kusakin

Alexander Kusakin is a record-breaking force redefining what’s possible in the underwater world. Since 2021, he has competed at the highest levels, earning his place on both the Moscow City and Russian National Underwater Sports Teams.

But 2024 was a game-changer. At the CMAS 8th World Championship Freediving Depth in Kalamata, Greece, Alexander shattered expectations and set four para freediving world records—including an awe-inspiring 61-meter Free Immersion (FIM) dive. His dedication, resilience, and unwavering passion make him a legend in the making. 🏆

Now, One Breath Productions is set to feature Alexander’s journey in the third episode of Breath of Life.

🚨 What drives Alexander to push beyond limits?
🚨 How does he mentally and physically prepare for record-breaking dives?
🚨 What’s next for this extraordinary athlete?

👉 Stay tuned—this is a story of courage, perseverance, and the depths of human potential you won’t want to miss.

Follow us for updates as we dive deeper into Alexander’s world!

On one breath, our journey continues...

Why One Breath? When we film, we are freediving—no scuba equipment, just us and our subjects, capturing every moment on a single breath. 🐠📹

Every frame, every breathtaking moment you see in Breath of Life was captured with just one deep breath, a camera, and pure connection to the underwater world.

🌊 El León is just the beginning. Every upcoming episode in this series will be filmed entirely on breath-hold.

We’re so excited to dive deeper with Chapter 2: The Element, but we need your help to make it happen!

There’s something humbling about sharing the blue with a creature as majestic as the s***m whale. Their deep, resonant clicks echoed around us, their curious eyes connected deeply with us.

Every breath hold is a chance to move slowly, to listen deeply, and connect with them.

We are not just capturing footage in these moments; we are honoring these creatures and sharing their story with the world.

A Million Shades of Blue 💙

Have you ever noticed the endless shades of blue underwater? From the pale cerulean glow at the surface to the inky, mysterious depths of the ocean, each dive is a journey through an ever-changing masterpiece of color.

Freediving allows us to witness this spectrum in its purest form—where the light dances, refracts, and fades as we descend.

Each layer of blue tells a story:
🌊 The shimmering turquoise of shallow waters speaks of life and vibrancy.
🌊 The rich sapphire hues beckon with the call of exploration.
🌊 The deep, velvety navy reminds us of the ocean’s mystery and power.

As freedivers, we become part of the blues, moving in harmony with the rhythm of the water.

What’s your favorite shade of blue, and where have you seen it? Let us know in the comments!
