Talking Forgetting to breathe!

This article reminded me...
http://deeperblue.net/article.php/701/2

My dive buddies have told me that when I come up from a static it looks as if I don't breathe! Sometimes I have noticed that I come up and give the OK sign while still holding my breath. Even with dry statics I have noticed that I am not usually out of breath after a max static, and so I only take shallow breaths. Strange considering that only a few seconds before I was fighting the urge to breathe...

Now it seems that I'm not the only one.

It hasn't been a problem for me so far - I have never had a blackout or samba after surfacing, and my dry static PB was clean. (Otherwise it wouldn't be a PB... ) It feels like the best way for me.

Is there a best way of breathing after a max apnea performance?

Re: Forgetting to breathe!

Breathe out, just a bit, then inhale as deep as possible and then deep out etc. etc. That's how I do it.

Why breathe out just a bit and not all the air still in the lungs? Because you need a bit of fresh air in your lungs as soon as possible.

If anyone thinks this is wrong please correct me
