(v.) To "samba" : To lose muscle control in extremities after apnea. Usually occurring in spearfishers who hyperventilate (purge too much CO2) before a breath hold - this is extremely dangerous and why you never dive alone!

Always dive with a buddy and never practice "static breath hold" techniques while near water. CO2 regulates the body's exchange of gasses so if you purge too much you will use more oxygen while diving. Take a freediving course to learn a proper "freediving breathe-up"

Here's an example of a diver SAMBAing during ocean spearfishing:
