Did you know: When we hold our breath in the water, the human body is subject to a series of adaptations? The heart beats slower, the spleen contracts and releases extra red blood cells, the blood leaves the extremities towards the brain, lungs, and heart, and the metabolism slows down. These adaptations allow us to hold our breath longer in a safe and relaxed manner. They are part of the mammalian dive response. This is a crucial adaptation we share with every other mammal species. #diveintoanotherworld #deepdivedubai #divein #freediving #freedivingfriday #freedivingtraining #freedivinglife #freedivingcourse
