It is a common technique to manage your buoyancy with the amount of air in your lungs for snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Most everyone will sink without air in their lungs and float with thier lungs full.
If you have a considerable amount of muscle and a small lung capacity, you could sink on a full breath of air. This is very unlikely to happen though since training will often increase your lung capacity.
It seems many people are missing the point of this Thesis possibility.
The idea is to check if there is a correlation between working in a stressful job, like a developer or project manager whose commitments don't end when he or she leaves the office.
The question is not whether this man's divorce can be blamed on working IT or not. The question is whether a stressful/analytical job which often requires overtime might be related to the relationship troubles characterized by a divorce.
On that point, this thesis sounds more like anthropology than computer science or IT.
