Hola folks....I just got back from a dive and had a question regarding air consumption/usuage. I tend to blow thru a 3000 psi tank in a relatively short amount of time. While other divers can stay down a bit longer. A dive instructor once mentioned taking deep breaths and exhaling in 3 stages before taking another breath. I am usually at a deep of 40-50 ft and my bottom time is usally around 20-25 minutes. Another factor (not sure if this matters) is that I am diving in South Florida where the water tends to be alot warmer than other places.
My question would be how do I breath properly?
Secondly, I know about nitrox and would like to exclude any of these types of answers.
Thanks all for your input.
