@Patoux01 it's a conscious effort to expel the last bit of air out of your lungs when diving deep to prevent any CO2 buildup in your lungs. It's not an automatic response unless something is wrong. It's not really taught by most instructors, but it gets important when gas density goes way up as you get deep
