I have been reading a separate thread about apnea and intellectual enhancement and it got me to thinking.
I actually have a Masters Degree in Piano Performance, though I am now in a completely unrelated field as an airline pilot. I just started freedive training very recently, and I've found that if I go to the bottom of the pool after about 2 minutes of a static hold and begin to s-l-o-w-l-y play through a Mozart sonata on the bottom, my mind ventures away from the distractions of needing to breathe.
I don't think this is anything spectacular, but it WOULD be neat if it improved my concentration when I practice and perform.
