Re: Advantages of FRC diving?

Peter,

My question is on just how big of an exhale you do when diving this way.

While playing around with this all winter, in shallow water, I felt the blood shift after a single dive, or two at the most, and really liked how easy the decent was- plus, I was able to dump a full 10 pounds off of my winter weight belt.

I found my self taking a big breath, exhaling completely, and then diving. Re-reading through many of these posts it sounds like other divers are taking some type of partial inhale before they dive- which would extend both my depth and bottom time.

So, how big an inhale/exhale do you take before decent?

Thanks,

Jon
