Ok down and dirty. I am a former smoker (I quit the day I found out I was going to be a father 2.5 years ago) but fairly active. A good bit of skiing in the winter and diving in the summer ect. I wish I had time to work out more or even at all but between work and being a stay at home dad I just dont have the time at the moment to go to the gym. So my question is this, I am a gas HOG (or so I am told) and having just calculated my SAC at around .85 am disgusted with my gas consumption (this was on a dive where I was doing a wet run of my new dry suit so that may have something to do with it as well.). Is it just a matter of improving my cardio efforts to get better gas times? are there specific exercises that work better then others? I want to be in the .4-.6 range? What say you wise men and women? The dive I just did that I got the .85 rat on was a fairly shallow skills based dive in 20 max depth for 52 min. using a st72 with a starting pressure of 3k and ending pressure of 1K. like I said I was using my new dry suit for the first time as well.
