"breathing rate" is great if you are doing it by being relaxed, or better yet by not using unnecessary muscles ( like a swimmer can do to conseve oxygen), but it is not good if you are overcoming the CO2 reflex artificially - that will have to be made up someplace, and you are fooling yourself to get way into cave or wreck skip breathing and then have a problem and not be able to hold that rate. A fit diver who can control his body and is used to diving an stays cool and can exert using only the required muscles is the best "breathing rate" example. Bill Gavin was a master of breathing nothing under fire, and Brent Scarbin could relax like nobody can. Jablonski can hold his rate doing anything, and I can leave my mind at the door and do difficult things without my rate changing over hours at a time, but then with us , the process of elimination has resulted in that selection. Some of thew guys like Armentrout , Mee, Rose, Werner, Cole etc can cut lose and go to rates in the teens sometimes when they are in the groove. tgunther@co*.co* wrote: > > << Some of guys try to breaths as much as they can to get good ventilation > and gas exchnage, and that is probably better. >> > > Considering that many divers like to brag about their air-consumption rate over > and above that of others, I find this to be insightful.
