Here goes...

Air Consumption

  • Practice - the more diving you do the better you get
  • Breathe deeply and slowly, don't breathe out straight away and don't shallow breathe
  • Don't move too much, when you're going down the shot line you should be able to just sink, don't swim hard to get to the bottom, in the end you'll just reduce your dive time. When you're on the bottom use your fins, not your hands, your fins are more effiecient and will therefore use less energy and less air.
