hello everyone
i know the cardinal rule of diving is never to hold your breath to avoid lung overexpansion.
however i sometimes do this when taking a photo u/w. im not changing depth while doing this so over expansion is out of the queston.
but is there any other reason not to hold your breath? im thinking that maybe holding your breath MAY increase nitrogen load. but again, im not sure.
would really like to know if what im doing could be hazardous.
thanks
