So I saw this report from 1951 linked off of a Wikipedia article and found it quite interesting.

http://www.polioassociation.org/frog_breathing.pdf

The wikipedia article:

[ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossopharyngeal_breathing]Glossopharyngeal breathing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

This has been posted by jome in the past and possibly by others but I thought I'd repost it as I missed it when it was first posted.

Additionally introduction of packing to freediving is credited to Bob Croft. Does anybody know how he discovered it ?
