5 Ways To Use Less Gas When Scuba Diving

5 Ways To Use Less Gas When Scuba Diving. There is no magic wand to having an amazing SAC rate. You have to do the work!

We're covering how to perfect your core skills as a scuba diver to help you use your gas more efficiently, plus how the art of zen can help you breathe less gas whilst scuba diving.

How can I breath less gas whilst diving? A very common question I get asked all the time and on the subject of breathing itself. There is a right way and many different wrong ways to breath whilst scuba diving. I'll explain the difference.

Thanks for watching, as always!

"Can I get a discount on the course?" "Sure what part of the training would you like me to leave out?"
My goodness that had me rolling.

I was diving of the coast of the Carolina’s every weekend to depths of a 100 feet + and couldn’t get 10 minutes out of an 80 tank bought a 120 and started getting 15 minutes but with nitrox I should have been able to get 25 minutes. I told my instructor about my issues and he gave me a tip that made all the difference in the world.
I went from sucking down a 120 in 15 minutes to coming up with a little less than 1/2 a tank left.
He said once you jump in get to the hang line and take a minute to adjust your gear and slow your breathing.
Being on the boat and gearing up then jumping in can make you breathing very rapid. By taking a minute and concentrating on your breathing and slowing it down before you descend will make all the difference in the world.
Anyone want to buy a couple of 120’s
Lol.

A 6th item would be to dive more! The more you dive the less you're stressed and the better you are with all the skills - the result: the longer your dives. Cheers!

i won’t forget the time i finally used my lungs for buoyancy. i smiled inside my mask. i think i was on my 30th dive that time. i also won’t forget the time when my instructor, although just my buddy on a fun dive that particular time, told me to hand out 1 piece of my weight (1 pound) during the safety stop. so i gave it to him and noticed that i wasn’t ascending when i removed air in my BC. then he told me again to hand him out 1 more piece of weight (1 pound). i signaled him “huh”? so i handed it too him too and made sure there was no air in my BC. upon reaching the surface, he told me “that’s your new weight now, you’re too heavy”: yup, he was right. although i have to make a little more effort to descend from the surface when starting a dive, but when reaching about 4-5 feet, buoyancy is perfect until the end of a dive...

I was a firefighter long before I was a diver, which was a tremendous help when it came to learning to breathe properly underwater. When I was a firefighter, we were put through several different physical and psychological stress courses while breathing from an SCBA tank and our lives may have depended on how long we could make that tank last. Those skills translated to SCUBA with each breath being deliberate; either to oxygenate the brain or to control bouyancy.

"The weighting is the hardest Brilliant!! Yet another great video from our favorite dive guru. Thanks James.

[TacoBell]

I have only just my scuba licence last week. Loved the 3 days so much

[michaelhallman]

I love your channel. As a fellow instructor I teach the 3 counts in and 5 counts out. Then 5 and 5. Next 5 and 7 and finally 7 counts in 7 counts out.

Yoga has been great for my diving. Yoga breathing is very fitting for diving.

[Litehamer]

It’s me !!! I’m the pissed off dragon …… New Diver, drysuit, cold dark water always gets me . I was so much better in the tropics when I completed the OW course.

[eratz]

New diver here, loving your content, so well done, great tips here. Thx!

[joshmandeville]

I'm a nose breather by nature and when using a regular setup I suck a LOT of air. I switched to a Full Face mask and because I can breathe from my nose, I've more than doubled my down time at the same depth. I'm now the last person who runs out of gas and it's one of the best things I've done in diving.

[stuartmcinally]

I'm definitely the pissed off dragon. 😂 2nd dive coming up after my OW certification tomorrow.

[BHt]

Thanks James, I finally got my ass to a class and certified when I turned 50. Now I’m kicking myself for not doing it decades ago. Always watch video tips from the pros to make myself a more efficient diver. Knowledge is good

[kennethseth]

James, I'm new to SCUBA diving and have greatly appreciate all your videos that you make. I have found to be watching these every time I get a chance. Thank you for the great knowledge.

[petecusack]

I'm a new diver. I mostly ccean, shorebased dives and when swell is big off the rocks I tend to consume a bit of gas getting in and during the descent. I surf and generally like the waves but when diving I guess I'm thinking about too many things and not as relaxed I should be. Also Im only 10 dives down and desperately want to get better. I'm going to try the 4 in and 4 out during my dive on the weekend. Thanks ;)

[erickowens]

The animal analogies are superb 😂 thanks for another great video!

[patrickmooney]

OMG. The Labyrinth reference / flashback had me in tears. I completely agree. Thanks.

[figueirodenis]

This video couldn't have come at a better time! I've been trying to become more mindful of my gas consumption during dives, keep up the great work!

[Craigg]

I love that final tip about the breathing pattern. I’m going to try that on my next dive.
