Re: Increase bottom time

I advocate deep relaxation during surface intervals with slow, unstrained breathing. It takes experience to sense your CO2 level and not overdo it. I have to agree that holding yourself on the bottom and staying down as long as you can is extremely dangerous. Personally I never reference my watch DURING a dive - only after, and before for surface intervals.
