I am a cold lake diver and most of us that hunt Walleye and other suck fish use what is called SKIP BREATHING as too not scare off the elusive fish we hunt with our bubble's...BUT in shalow water and its more like a slow exhale rather than holding your breath before taking in your next inhale.
And if you do it right you will get no headache and will extend your bottom time.
It may not be right but it works.
All good scuba spearfisherman engage in skip breathing, holding their breath while stalking etc. The goal is to avoid spooking fish, not necessarily to conserve air. I think that doing a series of breath hold/stalking episodes probably elevates the heart rate and results in MORE air being used as the diver tries to recover afterward.
