Robert,
I know this sounds simplistic but your best solution to this very very simple. Just dive. The more you dive the better it will get plain and simple. I too once struggled with my mind on how fast I emptied a tank. In the end when its all said and done you will breath at your own rate. When I started diving I was trying to metric myself against 200+ dive divers. I got discouraged, talked to people, then got discouraged again and went round and round. Then I just decided what I breathed is what I breathed and bam one day I was going 40 plus minutes in Cozumel on pretty deep dives. If someone is giving you grief about your air management find somebody else to dive with!!! You should never get into an air war. Its just something that takes a little time say 50 good dives. Thankfully the ride is just as cool as the destination!! Just relax, tuck in your arms, and enjoy the calm quiet of the water.
