Hi all I recently did my AOW deep specialty and have never been past 70' before this dive. We were following the natural bottom contour down to 100' when we got to 95' I was fine but when we touched down at 100' kneeling, I started to feel like I couldn't get enough air and was breathing my reg fairly hard keep in mind I just purchased the Scubapro MK25/A700 it was on max flow and dial turned almost all the way up.
I start to get a little worried and I can't really focus on much because I just wanted to ascend a little bit but didn't want to call the dive for the sake of the other students and the Instuctor was about to do some demonstrations at depth. I would have called it had there been a real problem but I figured it was just a litle anxiety attack or a CO2 build up. I had to tell myself I couldn't make a mistake down here and I'm not going to die , don't panic, don't panic. So I took long easy breaths and after 20 secs or so I had calmed down a bit but not totally, I still wanted to go up a little. It was 53 degrees and I was feeling it and don't know if the was a factor. I focused on my comp and was couting down the psi so I could turn us at a 1/3. The instructor finished his demonstration and then promptly told him I reached my 1/3 and we needed to move lol. All was fine when we were ascending and I felt alot better. I upchucked through my reg a few times ascending and let out some burps but we did just eat breakfast prior to our dive.
Any thoughts or insight into my dive would be appreciated. Thanks
