Ok, if you've made it this far and realize it's the tec forum:
I breath-hold on scuba.
A few dozen times per dive for photography (and critter sneaking).
Generally 1.5 to 3 minutes per hold. Normal breathing after 2 recovery breaths if strenuous. Overall SAC lowers. No co2 headache after these dives.
I've never gone into a hyperventilating panic on OC. Can someone explain why not? Is a hypercapnia response that heavily conditional?
My experience isn't lining up with my reading so here's a thread of hope that someone can connect my missing pieces.
