I usually will read anything and everything about the ocean, like simply reading the words automatically and simultaneously, calms and thrills me, but was not interested in free diving and felt it was another adrenaline, death defying way to pollute the ocean, and have someone else find your body when it washed to shore, which is traumatic and unnecessary. Freedivers can anticipate these switches and exploit them to dive deeper and longer. The deeper we dive, the more pronounced the reflexes become, eventually spurring a physical transformation that protects our organs from imploding under the immense underwater pressure and turns us into efficient deep-sea-diving animals. It refers to a variety of physiological reflexes in the brain, lungs, and heart, among other organs, that are triggered the second we put our faces in water. The term Master Switch of Life was coined by physiologist Per Scholander in 1963.
