to be. discovered. subscribe to the documentary to. find out why cliff 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 own max with

a focus on the ocean i'm your host meghan lee is that look at what we've got in store for you today. a free diver explores the deep blue sea. and. a dance form a shot that 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 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 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.

the fun but assured the deep blue sea isn't in chanted world where she feels absolutely free. she's of free time i thought that means she died without oxygen tanks and she's one of the world's best. 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 that your body realizes no you're under water

you can't breathe so you have to conserve oxygen if you're going to survive 1st your pulse drops your heart rate slows down have and your metabolism slows radically and less energy is used for the new year and everything is geared towards saving oxygen and keeping you alive as long as possible or only able to help them before diving and a concentrates on storing up as much oxygen in her lungs as possible. some freezer are just pushed 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 what if you're in the water and that happens and nobody is there to pull you out and also you drown one 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 she'd set 3 german records the same year she brought home grown loose from the world championships in egypt and. back home in berlin she trains 3 or 4 times a week many free divers take up yoga and various meditation techniques but anna prefers crosstrees a grueling full body training program that pushes her to her limits. on 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 and i'm making very good progress with cross at home from course so a. fair approach to life is to take the on beaten path she briefly traded 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 freediver and i have one line that is too small of the living 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 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 to watch it back in cyprus now she has to concentrate. on. the wiki you should go to the best discipline 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 that would be really really great especially. with the she succeeds or not i'm a fun but it sure has found her own 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 a fair trial 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 tal afar springs into action. i'm just going to watch the waves press them a show. on the beaches of england southeast coast she takes spectacular photos of the scene 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 house at sea 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 get hit will see that if you get one pretty big way the next to me to be after it at this speech and many beaches will for safety be. saved their people will see the 1st big boy take a picture and then they're looking at the camera there's 2 more coming. rachel tonopah troupe 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 trade she 60 which restored and i spent the day here exactly where we are now and it was 6 hours of utterly exhausting absolutely brilliant photographer a. she gave every wave she photographed for the series

a name taken from methodology. limits decide in making the giant waves seem like reaching 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 is called loki the norse trickster god looks like it's happened a good laugh. if she's out during a real storm she lines 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 there 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 spent a lifetime looking at the sea a lot this coast i'm not a scientist but it is. fails to mate at the end of severe storms on this case

has grown which from a graphic perspective based quite exciting thought is obviously also has other ramifications to tell more. but when the sea becomes smooth and trying in time it's time for rachel told 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 to use it for his were made creations well you might become inspired to.

taste of the sea fleet adorned with mussels edwin vink is cuisine is based on local maritime ingredients. a life without the sea a lot. of the projects is one picked by frank. today thinking his friend john cranston visiting the north sea coast in the netherlands. drink is the only person in this region who holds an official permit to harvest the algae. drink assumptions everything immediately. this is japanese. berry we see we were dry and i want is the right even more intense with even more. testing like like the sea. so this is really this is not my favorite but this is really great that great if we figure puts his creative skills to good use of 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 august this is. when you make like something like oil or something from les there's like white. we don't use ruffles and gets in the dish and i prefer. the food that think it prepares is cooked with salt water from the sea filtered and boiled of course to kill off any bacteria. you see what happens to . the water reduced the salt in the water it's on the potato and then you have this sulky potato. so simple. the menu features mostly fish and shellfish and think you use a c.v.a. visitor chefs would use vegetables. much easier is the sea the sea water so people come here to taste the seed to experience the sea when you walk around here you smell the sea i want to have this

on your plate. muscles are a favorite item on the menu because we've spent 20 different varieties of the pending season. wilful thing about it is they all have their own taste one of them a sweet one of them has a bit of a sour so i would have all those different kinds of taste that we have that is bringing another extra dimension on the shelves. or like on the shelf see which but you have to taste them all before you know what which one are the best and then you have to test them out so i have to call them you have to bake them you have to make power over it they have to eat it raw if you want so it was a long time. i think it has finally developed the sweet consulting desserts. roasts whack of seaweed and combines it with big chocolate mousse red bean paste

and. this is remind you of the wrong north sea coast this is sesame street just one block from your plant george smith's japanese interment. very important that people come in here one day leave the table left with it you don't have to be tired and we try to do to make it as clear as possible and that's healthy as possible so we don't use sure what our dishes also like japanese you know if you would we use honey we have our own bees in the go. so i would try to make our kitchen as light as possible and as healthy as possible because it's very important to configure has made a name for himself as a chef who prepares fresh north seemed greedy and served an innovative company. professional cliff diver i know has been carrying herself off rugged ledges for almost 15 years well sometimes from

a height of up to 20 metres 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 no less. 3 seconds that's all she's got then on a butter hits the water at a speed of about 85 kilometers an hour. cliff diving it's cliff diving gives me this great sense of freedom up there i'm on my own in 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 this is nothing i hate. 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 to hit the water at such high speeds that the water surface can act like concrete that's why they always into the water feature 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. as well and say here's essential it helps us to a focused and avoid becoming reckless. a few is generally a good thing for us and we need to prepare ourselves mentally before the dive and then vision the jump in our minds. fighting in the end i also do breathing exercises that were really centered when we go. in without

a. cliff diving is an adrenaline rush and about our practices yoga during training and at competitions to stay calm and focused. and her partner chris come on. 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 more was more worried about myself like when i'm performing also like when she's. i'm worried about her because you know before if you're single you're responsible if you're so but you know ever think what you do.

get sick from you have that really now that i have a family i 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 to the splits 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 when damon she 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 easy since we expect fate and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so we did that one thing we don't have is and a local said you have that all your professional lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut. here in front of rama on a batter's 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 of a high level competition that's what many more opportunities to train and die. and that's especially a great for us women and it was always my dream even when i just started out that that eventually be a real competitions to take part in it gave. her dream has come true but on a bun is 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 coasts rejoined him at one of his workshops in croatia. she trackers get to enjoy a deserted beach is breathtaking bays and stunning underwater landscapes. they explore gorgeous coastlines like diving hiking and swimming. in the it's me personally the ocean is a sheer bengal a sixpence. it's a space you can never conquer and it's this intangibility the draws me out there again and again. that's absolute freedom. absolute if. they aren't hard it 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 islander most participants are familiar with water sports which helps. the y. in the uk so the. workshops like these highlight different aspects of sea trekking. you know. such as planning your routes the equipment is needed and of course the way you move underwater. i did think. that 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 she truckers use it to transport everything they need drinking water clothing food

a sleeping mat and sneaking back. i mean look at phillip we're taking. about 10 liters of drinking water. though i'll have to rearrange it in my pack 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. but if i don't mind the weather because we'll be in the water or diving most of the time i hope. the weather and 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 night in the jungle and the next day you dive right back in to the coral reefs. the workshop participants swim about 2 kilometers to a bait that can only be reached by water. during a sudden rain shower they set up their camp and make a fire. into it with sea trekking is all about being in nature though giving something back it's such a gift to be able to carry it through. unfortunately the next day the

weather has worsened and swimming back through the. he waives his hard work. load once they've made it everyone's really happy. kind of guy this was a great tour even though the sea was a bit rough i have to say this was a great trip from a long hard ago we learned a lot they showed us a lot of things i often find similar to see trekking is an exceptional way of getting around i definitely do it again with a different color. and after this nature trip most participants are also happy to return to civilization. this year. the food. 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 in or seeing him soon.
