Hey all,
Got a newbie question for you. I'm a pretty new diver, and initially, ascending and maintaining a safety stop was a pretty damn clumsy affair. I've made improvements in my buoyancy control and that has changed the way I ascend.
On my past few dives, I've essentially breathed my way to the surface. Breath in, rise a bit. Breath out to slow or stop ascent. Breath in, rise a little more, let some air out of BC, and so on and so forth. I've never felt more controlled on my ascent. I got to thinking about lung overexpansion and whatnot, and I just wanted to check in and see if there was anything objectively wrong with my approach and see if there is a better approach to the controlled ascent.
Also, happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. Happy Thursday if you don't.
