I have notice that if i have past the sweet point i have problems whit swimming it feels like i am out of energy and i feel sleepy during the dive. The best thing is just to experiment in the pool when you have someone watching you.

Hi Amihov; my point, and fear, is that I do not notice hyperventilation too well in the ocean. Looking for fishies, the waves, cold, sound etc. In the pool, with less "inputs" I can feel it easily. I have done some dives in the ocean that felt way too long, and the exhaustion on returning to the surface after those dives is always noticeably worse. I sure I had hyperventilated without noticing before those dives.
Connor's reply (thanks) is just what I was looking for, some recipe to try, although a little tough. I will print it, plastify, and strap to my wrist this weekend to try
Cheers!
