Thanks for the insightful information - will try on my next scuba dive :)

[LINKRETROGAMING]

Wow, just calculated my SAC, yesterday I dived and the instructor could not believe, he just entered reserve when I was at half, It seems I have a SAC of 8.7l/min, I don't know but maybe I have a very natural low consumption since I could free dive up to 2:30 min with no training!

You omitted an important factor,
Correct weighting!
Perform a buoyancy check before diving, your weighting will vary depending on exposure protection, salt or fresh water.

Very nice video indeed! I think you should make many, many more of them! 😀 Always good to pick up scuba diving tips and techniques from the experts. Thank you…

I cannot believe the amount of weight the guy has on his belt @ 1:54 with a shorty. Does he use an aluminum tank?

[michaeljewkes]

Can I add a tip. If, when diving with a group, you are always below everyone else, you will use more air. Try to maintain the average depth of the group. If you are a heavy user of air, try not to be the diver at the bottom of the group. Having said that, do not leave your buddy. Happy diving!

Good tips for using air efficiently, BUT the last two video clips underwater show pressure cage dangling below the diver and even hitting coral in the second one. Not good guys!

[billwillson]

I got my buddy 100 size tanks and I got 120! Problem solved! 🤓

[Diver]

Hei you've forgotten secret number

[ahmedsamy]

I look like a whale 🐳 while diving I finish the 12L tank in 25 minis my group is no longer search for me the knew I dived back to the boat

[Truth-Be-Told-USA]

Yeah it's why I quit after advanced. I am not unfortunately a woman who uses almost no air. God certainly made it unfair with some people not needing to breathe much

[bloodymarvelous]

FFS, will you please stay away of the marine life!
