I remember when I did my qualification courses. I did multi-level as part of my AOW and by the time I signalled the group to go up to the next level, everyone was almost out of air while i and a few others were still sitting with half a tank.
From the manuals at everything you know that you shouldn't "shallow breath" because that doesn't clear the dead space in your lungs.... nor hold your breath. Although i may "pause" briefly in between inhaling and exhaling....
I found that breathing in very slowly (5 seconds) and then breathing out very slowly (5 seconds) helps tremendously.
I also push my tongue onto the roof of my mouth so as to create a "straw" like effect that restricts me doing a big quick inhale.
