I have noticed this on a few very rare occasions when the following occurred:
1. Overexertion before beginning the dive.
2. Being hot, tired or sick feeling before beginning the dive (increased respiration and
pulse rate before entering the water).
3. Overexertion during the dive (heavy workload, swimming against current, etc.).
4. Overexertion from heavy workload combined with a 2nd stage with a very small
exhaust (2nd stage exhaust probably had nothing to do with it.).
This usually occurs due to physical, diver-related issues like being out of shape, illness, smoking, or being out of breath for some other reason. Sometimes it occurs due to psychological reasons, like when a diver is stressed out over something that happened before or during the dive. Stress has a weird way of showing itself when you don't expect it. Some people are stressed and don't even realize it until they are in the middle of a dive.
At 80 feet for only 10 minutes, your tank pressure should still be high enough to deliver more than enough air even through regs that are unbalanced. A combination of low tank pressure, unbalanced regs, and a little overexertion could result in you being able to notice a slight difference in breathing, but this is not (and should not be)your everyday type of event.
Regs are designed to deliver more air than you should ever need for normal to slightly increased breathing rates, so being short of breath on a dive is rarely an equipment issue, unless you have a mechanical problem with your reg. Regs are not designed to run marathons underwater, and they will not match the same breathing performance that your lungs can handle on dry land, but sometimes divers expect way too much out of their regs.
You may want to reflect back on exactly what you did prior to, and during the dive that may have caused the change you noticed. Questions like what were you doing, or what were you thinking may help you figure it out. Were there any changes in environmental conditions that were beyond your control, or did you change anything you were doing after the first 10 minutes? Was this your first dive of the day, was this your first day of diving, did you get plenty of rest the night before, etc.? I hope this helps.
