I have improved my air consumption quite alot in the standard ways of relaxing more, buoyancy control, breathing pattern, etc to a point where I am quite satisfied with the result.
But I would like some input on the breathing pattern part. (slow in-pause a sec-slow out)
Right now I probably do something like 5-1-5 sec, if I try using more time it interferes with the buoyancy too much. Meaning that for instance when breathing in I go up so much that I have to breath out faster/earlier or else I wont go down again because of the expanded air in dry suit and BCD.
Is this normal? If not what am I doing wrong?
Any suggestions on how to improve it further?
