If you've monitored your breath rate at depth, what's your comfortable relaxed BPM rythmn? Considering mild exertion.
For mine it's 3-4 breaths per minute: steady inhale, comfortable pause, relatively forceful exhale (mouth and nose if gas density is a significant factor) immediate repeat. If I skip breathe I get horrible headaches upon ascent so I have developed this rhythm in replacement. I won't force myself to it, but it now feels natural.
Any observations on comfort or clarity depending on your breathing pattern?
