Try a search on donating blood as it brings up a few. If I remember correctly eric f said it would have a negative impact on freediving but depends on the discipline. That said unless you are seriously competing/setting a record etc the benefits of donating far outweigh the small drop in performance imho.

No sience only my own experience, but I don't think it has that big effect on you. Yes, certainly you can't perform as well the first 1-2 weeks, so just plan your donation or your maximum performances in advance (obviously). But I don't think it will impact to heavily on your training. My intension is to perform well under the given circumstances and try not to care or get stressed just because I have donated blood, if the rain is falling or if I feel to hungry. There is nothing I can do about that at right that moment when I'm going to dive, so don't let it stress you. I think you get my drift.
