we've got some tips for your bucket list. to corner. it's hard for some here and some great cultural borders to boot. w.h.y. we go. to . 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 are freediver explores the deep blue sea.

and. a dutch form a shop 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 sure did didn't start free diving until she was 37 years old but she still among the world's best while we met up with her to find out more. fun but it sure the deep blue sea isn't in chanted world where she feels absolutely free. she's

a free to 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 of that it's just you against nature and yourself. on things that maybe even in the ultimate sense in the final consequence of 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 oh you're under water coming at you you can't breathe so you have to conserve oxygen if you're going to survive this 1st your pulse drops your heart rate slows down half and your metabolism slows radically and less energy is used when you're in everything is

geared towards saving oxygen and keeping you alive as long as possible. so i hope that before diving and i concentrates on storing up as much oxygen in her lungs as possible. some freezer i was 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 and 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 said 3 german records the same year she brought home bronze 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 cross fit a grueling full body training program that pushes her to her limits. on up north i'm afraid 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 that of 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 those 2 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 to. get back in cyprus now she has to concentrate. on making sure that in the best discipline for me is free diving with them. i think i dived 81 meters deep with one in 2013 who i'd like to try again and see if i can make it down just one more metre that would be really really great. with

a she succeeds or not on the phone 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 official 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. just going to wash away

stress that may show up. on the beaches of england's 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 at 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. so if you can see that if you get one really big

way the next to immediately after it at this beach and many beaches were for safety big. so you get people who see the 1st before i take a picture and then they're looking at the camera that's 2 more cabbage. rachel 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 which was storm images and i spent the day here exactly where we are now and it was 6 hours of obsoletes or staying actually pretty and photographer a. 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 is called loki the norse trickster god looks like he's having a good laugh. if she's out during a real storm she lies right on the sand to achieve greater stability then she can use her telephoto zoom lens to capture waves up to 100 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 and 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 wave 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 look at this coast and i'm not a scientist but it. fails to mate at the end of a severe storms on this case has grown which from the photographic perspective is quite exciting is obviously also has other ramifications to tell more.

but when the sea becomes smooth and trying 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 colin airy gold in fact he collects it for his main dishes now and seaweed in asian cuisine has long been commonplace 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. taste of the sea fleet adorned with algae and mussels edwin vink is cuisine is based on local maritime ingredients. a life without the sea

a lot. of the project is one picked by i think. today i think and his friend john cranston visiting the north sea coast in the netherlands. think is the only person in this region who holds an official permit to harvest the algae. think a sample everything immediately. this is japanese. berry we see we we drive it i want is the right even more intense it's 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 think it was this creative skills to good use of this restaurant the crumb of the guy located right near the shore so what we started is with all the different kinds of seaweed. this is the rolls royce between i guess this is. when you make like something like oil or something from less

there's like white for. you know your struggles in the kitchen with this in my profile. all the food that think it prepares is cooked with salt water from the sea filtered and boiled of course to kill a funny bacteria. and see what happens to. the water reduced the salt in the water it's on the potato and then you have this salty potato. so simple. the menu features mostly fish and shellfish and think you use a c.v. this leaderships would use vegetables. 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. mussels are a favorite item on the menu because it's been 20 different varieties depending

seems. willful 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 tastes now we have that is bringing another dimension on the shelf. 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 if the called them you have to bake them you have to make over they have to eat at the raw if you want so it was a long time. has finally developed the sweet and salty desserts. roasts wakeham seaweed and combines it with big chocolate mousse red bean paste and . this is reminds you of the wrong north sea coast this is. just one block from

your plant george smith's japanese and. korean born that people come in here one day leave the table left with it you have to be tired and we try to make it as clear as possible and that's healthy as possible so we don't know a sure winner in our dishes also like japanese you know if you were we're sony 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. wouldn't think it has made a name for himself as a chef who prepares fresh nor seem greedy and served in innovative combinations. professional cliff diver 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 no less. 3 seconds that's all she's got then the nevada 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 yes it's enough i had. one of europe's most popular cliff diving locations is near the swiss village of punk a brawler. challenge office 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 own once

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 joint but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly low. the overwhelms and safety fears essential it helps us stay focused and avoid becoming reckless on a few is generally a good thing for us we need to prepare ourselves mentally before the dive and then visum a jump in our minds. for them in the end i also do breathing exercises that were really centered when we go. in the with us. cliff diving is an adrenaline rush on 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 know ever think what you do. 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 easier to this when it's still even in 2017 i achieved better

results than ever before because. as a child and i did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed when damon she was our intention. as exists in batman i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals timing of the cliff by rick's cafe is if that's rick's cafe and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so it did but we don't have it and a 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 front of rolla 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. demand there are plenty of

a high level competition that's what many more opportunities to train and. and that's especially 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 given that all. her dream has come true but on a founder's not an issue yet when faced with a challenge she was 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 tracking 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 deserted beach is breathtaking pace and stunning underwater landscapes. they explore gorgeous coastline biked i think hiking and swimming. in the beginning to 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. absolutely. very 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 nick and i learned most participants are

familiar with water sports which helps. the why in. the. workshops like these highlight different aspects of sea trekking. you know. 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 who. would see 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. you look at future or 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 3 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 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. 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. in for a few 1000 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 is hard work.

but once they've made it everyone's really happy. because this was a great tour even though the sea was a bit rough i have to say this was a great trip but ago we learned a lot they showed us a lot of things i can find some really see checking is an exceptional way of getting around i definitely do it again that is a good fellow. and after this nature trip most participants are also happy to return to civilization. you heard. 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 the against the.
