THE "PERFECT ( being horizontal ) TRIM" HOAX

[dmaziuk]

Will muscular tension increase oxygen consumption?

That doesn't translate to gas mileage.

 

[Blackcrusader]

I'd never be in a vertical position -- it's too uncomfortable, cold, affects diving, can't move around using fins... -- so can't help you with the gas consumption I'm afraid.

I invite you to come dive with me in Asia in warm water where you don't even need a wetsuit. It's so comfortable. Raja Ampat awaits you I'm going there in October. Dive op only has 21% no nitrox but the dives are shallow water in the sunshine.

The test : oxygen consumption by a diver in a horizontal vs a vertical position

Any particular reason to be using oxygen for the test? Air would help keep the costs down on the study.

Bob that is correct, I meant to say air instead of oxygen
