Deep Research Indoor

An Apnea Academy Research project in Y-40® Open Lab

AWARD Project Apnea Wet vs Apnea Related Dry

FRIDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2026

During the 11:00 – 16:00 sessions,

those who freedive can take the test, which will begin one hour before the dive and will require an additional half hour of availability at the end of the dive.

The project will investigate the response to hypoxic stimuli in different conditions in well-trained freedivers, collecting data on the direct comparison between exposure to dry freediving and real diving conditions with a scientific protocol aimed at studying the physiological responses to freediving in subjects exposed to the two different conditions, also investigating possible early markers of freediving pathologies.

If you are interested in participating in the tests, book your session in the water directly at www.y-40.com and write to Apnea Academy Research at cialonid@gmail.com to take part in the research.

The following tests will be performed: electrocardiogram, spirometry, blood saturation test, blood sampling (optional), cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound.

Volunteer freedivers will contribute to the research and receive a report with the results of the test.

Icone-100x100px-Tunnel

During the dive the diver/freediver exposes himself to risks related to compression and decompression of the body. With the change in pressure there may be difficulty compensating the pressure in the ears, sinuses, teeth, lungs and mask. These problems usually resolve themselves within a few days. Permanent problems rarely occur. We encourage you to report any inconvenience immediately.

Loss of movement control (samba/CML), black out, taravana, fainting when exiting a dive, decompression illness and any other type of event that causes temporary or permanent damage to health, for safety reasons, involves, at the unquestionable judgment of the lifeguards or Y-40® instructors, the immediate exit from the water and the end of the diving shift. Furthermore, the athlete and possibly the instructor will be sanctioned with exclusion from Y-40® activities. They will be able to return to diving following specific medical certification.

If symptoms appear during or after the dive, Y-40® Management and the 118 call center must be immediately notified.

Read more >

Always check the no-fly period at the end of the dive, in case you have to take a plane or go by car to mountain passes. If you have dived, please remember that it is strongly advised against traveling by plane or in any case going to high altitudes for the next 12 hours.
