That’s exceptional, does it come natural to you? people who dive all their lives seem to have an exceptional oxygen transfer rate, do you know of any studies done on it.
That is how all my dives are it's my natural breathing rate when diving. I just seem to be an oddball for a 135kg 300 pound diver. As I wrote in another thread I turned 60 last year and went to see a heart lung specialist. He had me go up 8 flights of stairs then put me right into a blood pressure machine. My heart rate was 58 beats per minute and my blood pressure 118 / 76 if I recall correctly. Doc then goes on about my weight... lol No signs of diabetes or heart disease or problems with lungs. A bent spine though lol.
Either when others film me or I listen to breathing in my own videos I breath every 20 - 25 seconds or so on some dives if not moving around. If you are not moving you really don't need to breathe too much. It's why airlines drop the O2 down to 16% on flights as no one is running around.
Also I am diving in water from 24c to 29c most of the time and I don't wear a wet suit as I have natural insulation lol. if 20c to 24c I probably put on my shark skin long armed top but still wear shorts.
