TSandM:It may depend on your definition of negligible, but I actually enjoy the gentle rise and fall I experience while hovering and "neutral". It's quite perceptible. But one really doesn't have to make a conscious EFFORT to synchronize the breathing -- if your breathing is rhythmic and you have adjusted your buoyancy appropriately, the exhale (arrest rise)/inhale (arrest descent) process proceeds pretty much by itself. But it's fun
You're right. When hovering, often during one's safety stop, the gentle rise and fall is perceptible and feels quite natural. For me, the slightest bit of finning obscures that.
