Freediving Physics, Put on the Bench
A Chinese-language site presents adjustable physics simulations of freediving phenomena, with source notes attached to its figures.
- For
- Freedivers exploring the physics behind dives
- Worth noticing
- The page flags its blood-oxygen model as underestimating measured deep-dive lows, citing Mulder et al. 2023 at 58±17% SpO₂.
Field notes
The demonstrations are organized as separate labs, with controls named for each model: the buoyancy section includes water type and altitude, while the duck-dive section separates hip flexion, leg lift and kicking. The site also marks limits in its own conclusions: its blood-oxygen model is described as underestimating measured deep-dive lows, and one drag-related result is identified as an analytical derivation without solver code or testing.
