Los Angeles, CA – The World Free Diving Medical Association (WFDMA) has enlisted the active participation of the global freediving community in an historic program of medical research.
Cedars-Sinai pulmonologist Dr. Ralph Potkin, WFDMA founder and principal investigator for the Association’s pilot studies of cerebral hypoxia and chest squeeze, has enlisted the support of freediving enthusiasts at all levels of performance and experience.
