My soon to be 16 year old son received his certification last weekend. He went thru all the training very well, he is like a fish in water and we would often freedive to 15-25 feet whenever in a lake that had good visibility. I believe his comfort level is very good in the water whether freediving or on scuba, however, his air use is almost a 1/3 more than my own. I do not have that many dives under my belt, but am also very comfortable in the water. He is in good physical condition overall, but I am curious on everyones thought on possible reasons for his high air intake. I understand that being comfortable in the water without scuba gear on, does not equate to the exact same comfort level as a beginning diver. His dive setup is the same as my own. Thanks for your input!
