Hello freediving friends,

I am trying to calculate (theoretically) the neutral point of a freediver without any wetsuit.
Can you please have a look into my calculation and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance :)

Your assumption about "10% decrease in lung volume with depth" is way off. At 10 meters your lungs are reduced by 50%.

Why not just get in the water and try it out? Dive until you find your neutral depth. Surely that's more accurate than a calculation?
