Abstract The presence of a dive response in humans when the face is submerged in water was studied. A lot of mammals have shown to exhibit a dive response known as the mammalian dive reflex. During this reflex bradycardia‚ a slowing of the heart rate‚ is shown. In this study‚ human subjects were put through various tests to determine if humans also exhibit bradycardia.
