Well, I'm fairly new to the competition, corporate, and advancement of performance through technology, side of freediving so there may be a simple question to my thoughts...
I am aware that a lot of divers wear wetsuits to combat the cold at depth, and I was wonder how cold it can actually get when doing depth dives, becuase, although freeding suits are designed to be as hyrodynamic as possible, does anyone dive not using a suit.
I know that olympic swimmers used to shave their entire body of hair, and then they go over once again to remove dead skin cells increase their hydrodynamics, would this be just as effective with freediving, or are the suits made of a more hydrodynamic material? As I have seen various freediving videos where it is clear to see drag being created by a suit, even on record attempts.
This may have been a stupid question or train of thought but I thought I'd post and see what replies I got
Thanks
Martin
