Have you considered Nitrox diving? You will more than likely have more gas left over at the end of the dive.

Se7en,
My husband has used the larger PSI capacity tanks for all his dives except the last one, but he *still* runs extremely low and/or out of air. He is a pretty big guy - our 'scuba fitness plan' has begun, but until we meet our goals, this is a problem.
While listening to him sleep in the middle of the night (bad insomnia usually), I hear him taking very shallow, quick breaths. Usually it's about 2-3 of his per one of mine. Is this something that maybe yoga could improve, or any other 'exercise'? He's had to use my octo on almost every dive so far (we've done 7 so far after OW certification). I usually surface with 1000-1300 psi left in my tank, so that's not a problem..., but it seems to cause him serious stress when his tank shows that low a reading. (me too!)

students who do yoga are usually very good with air consumption - the breathing and meditational techniques help a lot. Hence my new obsession with yoga!
