So I'm here in Bali with the husband, in Tulamben.
We we did dive 1 yesterday, which was fine. Dive 2 I had a bit if a panic ( this was only my 24th dive) due to being an idiot. I forgot to dump a bit of air as I ascended because it expands. I panicked as I couldn't control my ascent. My husband and the DM had to grab me to hold me down a bit until I dumped the air. So stupid of me. Needless to say, I began getting short of air after this and had to go on the DM's octopus. I was so irritated at myself and had trouble sleeping after because I know better.
Dive 3 we did the USS Liberty wreck. We were fairly deep for most of the time, but I got to 40 bar sooner than I expected and again had to use the DM'a octopus for 2-3 min before we did our safety stop. The dive was 41 min and we bottomed out at 26m but were mainly at 20-23m.
I am unsure why this has happened on dive 3. When I compare it to some of the other dive lengths / depths I've done, this should have been no problem. I didn't over exert myself on dive 3 either. In fact it was pretty easy going as my husband has been taking lots of photos with our new rig.
I cant any figure out why I'm sucking air so much when I feel like it's going slow and steady. Any thoughts??
