Diving reflex-test in a swimming pool
For this test you need a water resistant heart rate monitor as used in sports and diving goggles to check your heartbeat rate whilst being emerged.
You can prolong your stay under water if you hyperventilate vigorously four times before entering the water. Hold your breath at first and than
slowly release air (this helps to stop panic).
The best option is to ask a local diving club to assist you for safety reasons. They are usually very helpful, interested as they are in these phenomena.
