Whether it is taking time in providing health and safety education for divers, such as breath holding, practicing static apnea and shallow water blackout, to preparing them for what NDPA Symposium hidden treasures they may encounter on a dive, such as marine life and corals; 2013 there is always room for growth and improvement for both the student and the teacher. EUDI Show 2013 Have you taken a voyage on a dive cruise where you live on board a boat for the length of your trip and explore more remote dive sites? Did you remember Magnificent Maldives it fondly? Would you go again? Have you shared your memories with your and the Liveaboard students? Do they know they too can venture on this type of vacation? Where Experience would you go? Who would you get in touch with? What could you recommend to your students? By sharing what you have learned and undertaken, helps others – from students and fellow divers to other leadership team members – become My Instructor Does aware of the vast resources and environments that are available for diving. Do Have Cool Fins, you have a favorite diving spot and would you like for others to enjoy this gem? But… We would love to hear from you.

  • Cardiac Hypoxic Resistance and Decreasing Lactate During Maximum
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Cardiac hypoxic resistance and decreasing lactate during maximum apnea in elite breath hold divers Thomas Kjeld1*, Jakob Møller 1, Kristian Fogh1, Egon Godthaab Hansen2, Henrik Christian Arendrup3, Anders Brenøe Isbrand4, Bo Zerahn4, Jens Højberg5, Ellen Ostenfeld6, Henrik Thomsen1, Lars Christian Gormsen 7 & Marcus Carlsson6 Breath-hold divers (BHD) enduring apnea for more than 4 min are characterized by resistance to release of reactive oxygen species, reduced sensitivity to hypoxia, and low mitochondrial oxygen consumption in their skeletal muscles similar to northern elephant seals. The muscles and myocardium of harbor seals also exhibit metabolic adaptations including increased cardiac lactate-dehydrogenase- activity, exceeding their hypoxic limit. We hypothesized that the myocardium of BHD possesses 15 similar adaptive mechanisms. During maximum apnea O-H2O-PET/CT (n = 6) revealed no myocardial perfusion defcits but increased myocardial blood fow (MBF). Cardiac MRI determined blood oxygen level dependence oxygenation (n = 8) after 4 min of apnea was unaltered compared to rest, whereas cine-MRI demonstrated increased left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT). Arterial blood gases were collected after warm-up and maximum apnea in a pool. At the end of the maximum pool apnea (5 min), arterial saturation decreased to 52%, and lactate decreased 20%. Our fndings contrast with previous MR studies of BHD, that reported elevated cardiac troponins and decreased myocardial 15 perfusion after 4 min of apnea. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the frst time with O-H2O-PET/CT and MRI in elite BHD during maximum apnea, that MBF and LVWT increases while lactate decreases, indicating anaerobic/fat-based cardiac-metabolism similar to diving mammals.

I have experienced the relaxing effects of a guided ,deep relaxation‘ - which is basically a hypnosis session without therapeutical inputs - multiple times on my own. I have always been amazed about how fast I could get into a deep relaxed, sleep-like state through this. Ever since I started freediving, the thought that hypnosis could actually be very beneficial for apnea accompanied me, which led me to have a slightly more in depth look at the topic for my AIDA instructor course now. This paper is by no means a how-to guide on how to use hypnosis for static apnea. It is more an introduction to a toolset known from hypnosis, which usage could be beneficial for apnea in my opinion.

Current literature shows higher spleen volumes and greater spleen contractions in trained apnea Spleen volume divers compared to untrained individuals, but the influence of training is presently unknown. Spleen contraction Thirteen subjects daily performed five static apneas for 8 weeks. Before, halfway through and after the apnea Hemoglobin training period, subjects performed five maximal breath-holds at the laboratory. Baseline values for and changes in splenic volume and hemoglobin ([Hb]) were assessed. Although baseline spleen volume had increased (from 241 ± 55 mL PRE to 299 ± 51 mL POST training, p = 0.007), the absolute spleen contraction (142 ± 52 mL PRE and 139 ± 34 mL POST training, p = 0.868) and the acute increase in [Hb] remained unchanged. The present study shows that apnea training can increase the size of the spleen but that eight weeks of training is not sufficient to elicit significant training adaptations on the acute response.
