Hi
This is my first post. Hello.
I am new to diving (35 dives, dive around once or twice a month) and mainly dive around the Middle East.
I have noticed that on a normal dive, my air consumption is getting better. However, when I need to kick for instance if there's a current, it quickly goes out of the window. I'm 182 cm and 90 kg if that helps.
Recently, I went diving in the red sea. I dove a wreck and was fine. My air was good. But then we swan over to another wreck and I BURNED through oxygen in the short time that we were swimming. I ended up much lower on air than I should have been. I also recently did a dive with a strong current and was at 50 bar after only 25 minutes!
Does anyone have any good resources for helping this? Are there any good exercises I can do? Are there any good resources people have on finning in certain ways, or the best way to fin to preserve oxygen?
Thank you in advance.
