Hi all, noob here.
I've done only a hand full of sea dives and will return for another go at it in two weekends' time. My air consumption was really bad on the first dives and I'm sure it will improve with time but I was hoping I could get some tips here as to what I can try to bring down my air consumption.
I've averaged about 35 minutes on a 12 litre cyllinder filled to 220bar (that's roughly equivalent to 90cuft), most of these dives at around 15m (50ft).
I don't know just how bad that is exactly but what I do know is that I had to surface well before the rest of the diving party on every dive - very annoying.
