horizontal decent

I used to fly down the line all the time on air, well inexcess of 100'/min. What happens is that you'll take one (maybe two) long continuous breath all the way down, which feels kinda cool, but allows CO2 to build up badly and you get nailed by the highly narcotic CO2.

CO2 is bad stuff, and it's narcotic effects are not talked about a lot.

Yoop,
I'm not a huge air fan, but I see why you are so anti-air.
You have not always been very knowledgeable about diving. I haven't either.
Glad we lived through it.

Cheers and safe (non air) diving
