Feedback from my supervisor about my air consumption changed my whole approach
My supervisor told me I was breathing too fast and holding tension in my shoulders, which was wasting air. I started doing 5 minute slow breathing drills before every dive, and now I get an extra 15-20 minutes of bottom time on my 80 cu ft tanks. Anyone else get told to fix their breathing pattern?

I mean, "wasting air" sounds like my boss is mad I'm breathing too much of his precious water molecules. Guess I'll start holding my breath and see how that goes.

Hit 15 minutes extra bottom time after fixing the same thing, @caseyrivera. Slow exhales and keeping my shoulders soft made the biggest difference for me.
