It had been 20 years since the last gathering of breath-hold experts, so Divers Alert Network and the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society joined forces in 2006 to bring together the movers and shakers in breath-hold diving. The gathering included scientists as well as practitioners of the sport. The result was a two-day workshop about the physiology, performance and health and safety of breath-hold diving. Find out how 'samba', the 'mooglies' and apnea are related, how DAN has developed a database for breath-hold diving and the diving habits of Hawaiian breath-hold divers. There's more, of course.
Breath Hold Diving Workshop Proceedings is available now from DAN.
