Just some minor problems I need to address.

[UCFDiver85]

I am currently taking an open water course and I am scheduled to take my certification dive this weekend. I have been doing "great" in my class, according to the instructor. However, I find that I am having problems with my breathing and my bouancy.

At times, when I'm underwater, I find my breathing to be normal. At other times, I find myself taking deep breaths which effects my bouancy.

I'm told this will all get better as I spend more time in the water. Is this correct? Is there some way for me to have better control of my breathing? I really get tired of either being on the bottom of the pool or on the surface. It's really difficult for me to get the breathing down right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Buoyancy is something you just need to work on. Ask your instructor for additional time if you need it. It's definitly worth working on. There's nothing worse than being on a dive and having to struggle to stay off the bottom or maintain a certain depth.
