I wouldn't say I'm exhale diving. I don't take a full lung full of oxygen before I go under but I do inhale before I dive. I stop about halfway through a normal full inhale and then I go under. Like I said above, I believe I said it, I never have packed before diving. I still don't have the full concept of packing down...then again I haven't even tried to work on it. I'm probably only dropping lung volume by .5-1 liter at the most compared to what I always used to be doing. It's part of the reason why I'm still a little surprised about how close to neutral I am anymore. I think the new wetsuit has made a major difference in reducing the amount of bouyancy I have.
