I was editing some underwater videos that I took, where I could hear my breathing, and noticed something that struck me as strange - I seem to be breathing much slower underwater than usually
I counted myself taking somewhere between 5 and 6 breaths a minute (including when finning along), which is about half what I do sitting here typing on the computer. It seems a bit strange that I'd be breathing slower during activity underwater than I do while at rest now.
Is that a normal thing or should I be breathing at my usual rate? I'm definitely not holding my breath, but my inhales and exhales seem to be a lot deeper under water.
