I am 15 (as I have said multiple times on SB before) and in good physical condition. However, there is something that has intrigued me, my dive instructors and friends about my diving.
I just don't use air.
I breath normally. I consciously take big deep breathes and exhale long and slow. I never hold my breath.
Anyways, as my buoyancy has improved and I use less air in my BCD, it has become apparent on my SPG that I have used next to none air. A dive that should have exhausted almost all of my air only when from a little over 3000 PSi to 2200 PSi. This dive was a shore dive with a short surface swim and one which was a 40 minute BT at least (my dive log is missing right now...:depressed. A friend that went with (that is a PADI Instructor) and his daughter used almost all of their air and signaled the ascent.
I had 2200 PSi left!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I know what your thinking....malfunction of some sort. Well that's what my friend thought too. After a series of tests it was confirmed it was working perfectly.
So far I have earned a few free boat dives because this instrutor has bragged of my talents and his friends want to see me dive...THIS IS GREAT FOR ME!!!
But I still have no idea why I use so little air.
Any ideas??
