BREATHING TECHNIQUES FOR SCUBA DIVING - Improve your diving skills BBTP 1

Nice video Davide. I’ll be waiting for more.

One day we will make one together.. the next time we dive together bro!

What you've mentioned looks reasonable. Despite one huge thing: it breaks the first rule of scuba diving - never hold the breath. 1st phase: breath-in for 3 seconds 2nd: breath-out for 3 seconds 3rd: hold the breath for 3 seconds .... and this is rule #1 broken.

[@Ghost-Divers]

If you make a pause with the lungs almost empty... it's not like holding your breath. Think for example if you exhale slowly for 6 seconds... you would kept more gas in your lungs than exhaling the same amount for 3 sec and waiting 3 sec more before to inhale! It's all about how much gas is kept in your lungs during the pause and the fact that has to be short, like 3 seconds max! For example: you are more likely to get a lung overextention going up while breathing in an out a lot, rather than during a resoiratory pause with almost empty lungs.

@@Ghost-Divers I see your point - again, makes sense to me. Thank you!

[@ELAMINHamid]

Yo! Well explained .. tuned for more i will be .. So many questions i would love to have answers for ..

[@Ghost-Divers]

START ASKING! Maybe you give me ideas for more videos! Thank you for your feedback!!!

What percentage of lung volume do you use with underwater breathing compared to above water?

[@Ghost-Divers]

The volume is the same, I just exhale a little bit more and inhale less... but honesty the most important thing is to get used to make a little pause after exhaling. You wanna be neutral when exhaling, so you need a pause of about 3 seconds to asses your buoyancy. A big mistake is to make the pause too long, because you retain CO2... so no more than 3 seconds, just to match the buoyancy delay. WHEN YOU EXHALE AND WAIT YOU SHOULD NOT SINK! Watch the net video... I hope it will all makes sense for you. Thank you for watching!

Grazie - proverò 😊

Thanks for the video

Thanks for watching! I hope it was useful!!!

Can you explain why breathing influence your trim and propulsion? If your trim is on point finning techniques on point is 50% improvement on buoyancy you can breath however you want However yours is a good breathing technique

[@Ghost-Divers]

Breating affects buoyancy, which affects trim: Breathing volume influences the buoyancy of just your upper body, hence affects your trim. I't's also common to for the average diver to instinctively control buoyancy with the lungs, so.. bad trim is one of the outcomes. The more equipment you have and the more experienced you are, the less relevant this is... because of your displacement and skills. Next point, trim affecting propulsion: If you are not horizontal, every fin kick you do, will partially be used to maintain trim instead that for propulsion. Bad trim reduce the. efficiency of any swimming style! And NO, you cannot breathe however you want, especially in tech diving man!!!

[@MrGlenndini]

Same lung volume ventilation but less often (allowing for the pause between breathes) means less O2 uptake and less CO2 exhaust. NOT the same as stated in this mumbo jumbo.

[@Ghost-Divers]

What you wrote is not what I said...

[@MrGlenndini]

@@Ghost-Divers 2:20 "We are going to ventilate the same amount of air that we would at the surface". 3:16 "because we ventilate the same amount of gas we definitely have enough oxygen". But because of pauses we do not inhale as much oxygen over time and exhale less CO2 over time. ipso facto: what you said is what I wrote.

[@Ghost-Divers]

@@MrGlenndini I will take some time to re iew your comment and my video to give you the best answer...

[@Ghost-Divers]

So... just to be clear I answer your comment so others can read it, because if it was for you I wouldn't. Mambo Jumbo you say it to your friends, not to me! Be polite instead of arrogant... it's a better life, I know it! Now... all what I said in the video is what I meant. You must exhale more and inhale less because you are subject to higher pressure and need to vent the CO2 while still having enough oxygen. You are venting the same amount of your tidal volume, but pushing the limits of the espiratory volume a little more towards your residual volume... just a bit, within comfortable limits! The natural pause that I recommend to extended to no more than 3 seconds will allow you to match the buoyancy delay and assess your neutral buoyancy... but you are retaining gas, for sure! So, do not push it over 3 seconds! It's a compromise! We want to be efficient about venting and effective for buoyancy... or vice versa... depending on our cardiovascular output if we are relaxed or under physical effort and difficult conditions. Just watch the video again... I just did it to make sure I can answer correctly. Or... crazy idea, go diving and try it!!!
