in the light of climate. frequently. in store. for the future. we're going to make a series. to get something. i'm sure. you'll. find out why click divers don't go in head 1st that's coming up later on in the show. everyone is welcome to a special edition of your max with a focus on the ocean i'm your host megan lee is that look at what we've got in store for you today. how

a free diver explores the deep blue sea. and a dance form a shot of brings the taste of the ocean to the table. how long can you hold your breath. well on average most people only manage one or 2 minutes but with the right training you can increase that quite a bit if the current record is over 24 minutes held by a free diver now they explore the oceans without using oxygen tanks and fun but it sure did didn't start free diving until she was 37 years old but she's still among the world's best while we met up with her to find out more. fun but ish at the deep blue sea isn't in chanted world where she feels absolutely free. she's of freedom i thought that means she dives without oxygen tanks and

she's one of the world's best. posters on what's unique about free diving is that you're completely on your own to go of that it's just you against nature and yourself. on things maybe even in the ultimate sense in the final consequence a consequence. free divers have to master a special breathing technique which allows them to dive deep on a single breath. and are caught on their your body realizes no you're under water you can't breathe so you have to conserve oxygen if you're going to survive the 1st your pulse drops your heart rate slows down heads and your metabolism slows radically and less energy is used vinegar and everything is geared towards saving

oxygen and keeping you alive as long as possible or only able to hopefully before diving and a concentrates on storing up as much oxygen in her lungs as possible but. some freezer are just push themselves beyond their limits and risk physical harm freediving is an extreme sport and not to be taken lightly. locals music was our greatest risk is losing consciousness when you hold your breath you can always lose consciousness the thing and then if you're in the water and that happens and nobody is there to pull you out. you drown so we keep an eye on each other. and i was already an experienced diver when she took a course in free diving in 2007 within just 6 months but she'd set 3 german records the same year she brought homegrown news from the world championships in egypt and

. back home in berlin she trains 3 or 4 times a week many free divers take up yogurt and various meditation techniques but anna prefers crosstrees a grueling full body training program that pushes her to her limits. and up north although i'm a free diver so i've only got one breath and i need muscle condition that can work without using a lot of oxygen before and i'm making very good progress with cross at home from course so. her approach to life is to take the arm beaten path she briefly tried her neoprene diving suit for a laptop. in may 2019 and i published her 1st book it's an athlete's biography but also much more besides. i'm actually quite the

opposite of a free diver and i have one line that is too small of the moving and i'm not an especially good swimmer i've got so many things that should stop me but i'm still quite a success at it and i've been one of the world's best for over 10 years now that's a story that should encourage everyone to approach life with an open mind that we've been through this back in cyprus now she has to concentrate. on. the rich you should go to the best is the plan for me is free diving with them. i think i dived 81 meters deep with one in 2013 and would like to try again and see if i can make it down just one more metre well that's that would be really really great. with the she succeeds or not and it's fun but it sure has found

her happiness in the ocean depths. most people prefer to go to the beach for sunshine blue skies and a pleasant temperatures but others love the turbulence see after a storm when the tide is wild for the british and french are for rachel tell apart it can't get stormy enough and thanks to her photos even those at home can enjoy the drama of the ocean. when the sea churns in wales when the tides come in and gales with the water that's when british way photographer rachel tons of art springs into action. i'm just going to watch

the way stressed i'm a shill. on the beaches of england south east coast she takes spectacular photos of the sea as if she were out in the midst of it. but she says out there she get seasick. a lot of people often say to me oh you must been in a boat you look as if you're after sea and that is the look i want to get you and i remember how it feels to be right houses say with no land in sight and just waves around here and i think that's what i'm trying to illustrate in a lot of my photographs but from the shore. photographing waves means dealing with a constantly changing subject. that if you could see that if you get one really big way the next to me to me after it is at this beach and many beaches were forced to

be big. say to people who see the 1st before i take a picture and then they're looking at the camera there's 2 more coming. rachael tonopah drew international attention with her photo series sirens she took the pictures during especially intense storms involving winds up to 150 kilometers per hour and waves as high as 15 meters it was the 8th of february 26th day which was storm and i spent the day here exactly where we are now and it was 6 hours of utterly exhausting it's in the previous photographer. she gave every wave she photographed for the series a name taken from methodology medusa. decide in making the giant waves seem like raging gaunts or demons. if you freeze the

sea at a really fast shutter speed a 1000th of a 2nd or thereabouts there are amazing shapes and this is an example this one's called loki the norse trickster god looks like how can a good laugh. if she's out during a real storm and she lies right on the sand to achieve greater stability then she can use her telephoto zoom lens to capture waves of 200 meters away. you have to adopt really uncomfortable poses like this lying on a shingle for a long time getting as low down as possible makes the razor bigger because the horizon goes down in the wave stands up above the horizon and so really makes all the difference in the world. rachel tyler bartz black and white photos have won her many awards but she doesn't always dispense with color. i just thought it was

so simple it was just about light catching that wave in that moment i didn't want the distraction of color color for this one because the green in that way if i just thought it was so lovely and i didn't find this way scary it was more beautiful and that's probably because it's actually moving across the frame so it's not threatening me in any way. the photographer has always loved to see these mysterious and and earthly qualities but she also senses that now it poses an entirely new kind of menace i've spent a lifetime looking at see i lack this coast and i'm not a scientist but it. fails to mate at the end of severe storms on this case has grown which from a graphic perspective based quite exciting is obviously also has other ramifications with more worrying. but when the sea becomes smooth and trunk

and time it's time for rachel toeing the party to head home again. seaweed on the beach is seen as a nuisance by most people especially if you're on vacation but for dutch chef edwin vega it serves as colon area gold in fact he collects them for his main dishes now seaweed in asian cuisine has long been commonplace and now it's also popular in european kitchens thanks to its nutritional value and its diversity and once you see how uses it for his were made creations well you might become inspired to. the taste of the sea fleet adorned with algae and mussels edwin vink is could seen is based on local maritime ingredients. a life without the sea

a lot of. all of the projects is one picked by frank. today i think and his friend john cranston a visiting the north sea coast in the netherlands. drink is the only person in this region holds an official permit to harvest the algae. drink a sample everything immediately. is not this is japanese. berry we see we will dry it i want is the right even more intense with even more. testing like like c c s i so this is really this is not my favorite but this is really great they're great if we figure puts his creative skills to good use at his restaurant the crumb of the gun located right near the shore so we started this with all the different kinds of seaweed. this is the rolls royce between the i guess this is. when you make like something like oil or something from less there's

like white. we don't have struggles in the kitchen but this is. all the food the think it prepares is cooked with salt water from the sea filtered and boiled of course to kill a funny bacteria. to see what happens if there's. water reduced the salt in the water is on the potato and then you have this salty potato. and so simple. the menu features mostly fish and shellfish and think you use a c.v. visitor chefs would use vegetables. sea the sea water so people come here to taste the sea to experience the sea when you walk around here you smell the sea they want to have this on your plate. muscles are a favorite item on the menu because since about 20 different varieties the pending

season. will think about it they all have their own taste one of them sweet one of them has been a bit sour so we have all those different kinds of taste that we have that is bringing another extra dimension on the shelf. or like on the shelf see which but you have to test them all before you know what which one are the best and then you have to test them out so if the called them you have to make them you have to make over they have to eat at the raw if you want so it was a long time. thinking has finally developed the sweet and salty desserts. roast seaweed combines it with big chocolate mousse red bean paste and. this is remind you of the wrong word seacoast this is sesame seed or just one back

from your plant so it's about the japanese it's a. very important that people come in here when they leave the table they have to be fit they don't have to be tired and we try to do to make it as clear as possible that's healthy as possible so we don't you're sure whatever dishes also like g.p.s. you know we're sure we are we have our own bees in the garden so i would try to make our kitchen as light as possible and as healthy as possible because it's very important. think it has made a name for himself as a chef who prepares fresh north seemed greedy and served an innovative company. professional cliff diver and up by that has been hearing herself off rugged ledges for almost 15 years well sometimes from a height of up to 20 meters and through these daring feeds she's become one of europe's most successful cliff divers we met up with her in switzerland on the edge

of a cliff. 3 seconds that's all she's got then on a platter hits the water at a speed of about 85 kilometers an hour. cliff diving its cliff diving gives me this great sense of freedom up there i'm on my own a sort of untouchable me and when i take off and i'm in the advantage that is a moment of weightlessness that's what freedom feels like to me that's good enough i had i'm. one of europe's most popular cliff diving locations is near the swiss village of ponta brother. telling off his vital since cliff divers cannot afford to slip they hit the water at such high speeds that the water surface can act like concrete that's why they

always into the water feet 1st. hitting the surface at a bad angle after a 20 meter drop is like being in a fairly serious traffic accident resulting in broken bones sprains and dislocated joints but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly low. the. fear is essential it helps us to a focused and avoid becoming reckless. so if you're is generally a good thing for us we need to prepare ourselves mentally before the dive and then visum a jump in our minds he's. fighting in the end i also do breathing exercises that were really centered when we go. by without. cliff diving is an adrenaline rush and about our practices yoga during training and at competitions to stay calm and focused. her partner chris

coleman. this is also a professional cliff diver together they have 2 children to keep fitness and family life in balance they often train together but being a parent and an extreme athlete is not always easy. so i'm was more worried about myself like when i'm performing also like when she is . i'm worried about her because you know before if you're single you're responsible if you're so but. you do we are responsible of. that really now that i have a family and have less time to train and prepare for competition and. that's why i decided to slow down a little and do easy a jump. still even in 2017 i achieved better results than ever before.

as a child and i did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed one day i was on vacation. as exists in bad when i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals timing of the cliff by rick's cafe is it's rick's cafe and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so i did that that. we don't have you know the local said you have that all your professional me lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut. here in bunch of rolla one of banners cliff diving career took off in 2005 for many years she was the only woman in the sport and had to compete against men no provisions had ever been made for female contenders with good demand there are plenty other high level competition that's

what many more opportunities to train and die. and that's especially great for us women and it was always my dream even when i just started out that that eventually be real competitions to take part in it given that i'm. her dream has come true but on a founder's not finished yet when faced with a challenge she's always ready to take the plunge. about 20 years ago bad advice from munich who was looking for an outdoor sport that suited him but he had no luck so he decided to create one for himself he called it c trekking and he combined his love for the ocean travel and adventure in a unique way will see truckers rely on their own physical endurance while exploring the coast we joined him at one of his workshops in croatia.

she trackers get to enjoy a deserted beach is breathtaking dazed and stunning underwater landscapes. they explore gorgeous coastline spiked i think hiking and swimming. with the aid to me personally the ocean is a sheer bendel a sixpence. it's a space you can never conquer and it's this intangibility that draws me out there again and again. that's absolute freedom. absolute if i had. a very hard is a sea trekking pioneer 20 years ago he was the 1st to swim from one tiny island to the next these days he offers workshops where he teaches others about the sport today he's on the croatian island of trash giving a sea trekking course with free diver nicole i learned or most participants are

familiar with water sports which helps. the y. in the uk so that. workshops like these highlight different aspects of sea trekking give you. the group such as planning your routes the equipment needed and of course the way you move underwater. i did think. it's not a lot like swimming in open waters or free diving. with sea trekking your movements are result of the expanse of the sea. one of the most important pieces of kit is a kind of waterproof backpack it was developed by bernhard himself see truckers use it to transport everything they need drinking water clothing food sleeping mats and sneaking back. their neighborhoods and if i were taking. about 10 liters of drinking water. though i'll have to rearrange it in my packs so it won't get in my

way when i'm swimming later on. once everything is packed the backpack is inflated now it has a streamlined shape and can be pulled behind the seat trekkers without much effort . this 3 day workshop only features a short trip to a nearby bay further down the coast all participants sleep out in the open. and we're not really all that nervous i just hope i won't be cold because we'll probably be going for 23 hours. i don't mind the weather because we'll be in the water or diving most of the time i hope. the weather and the underwater currents are important factors to consider sea truckers sometimes swim several kilometers per day and occasionally put in free diving stops. you can go see trekking pretty much anywhere of course we had to wild coastal

regions because there's such an incredible gift and experience of nature. lonely islands where no one else ever goes. you spend the nights in the jungle and the next day you dive right back in to the coral reefs. because. the workshop participants swim about 2 kilometers to a bank that can only be reached by water. during a sudden rain shower they set up their camp and make a fire. interesting to see trekking is all about being in nature and about giving something back it's such a gift to be able to carry it through but also. unfortunately the next day the weather has worsened and swimming back through the choppy waves he's hard work.

but once they've made it everyone's really happy. on the guy this was a great tour even though the sea was a bit rough i have to say this was a great trip long ago we learned a lot they showed us a lot of things that i often find similar to see checking is an exceptional way of getting around i definitely do it again but a different kind of. and after this nature trip most participants are also happy to return to civilisation. this year. and with that we wrap up this special edition of euro max now don't forget to follow us on facebook or go to our own website to see the reports again as always thanks for tuning and we'll see them soon.
