When I first started 2 years ago, I kept asking about my breathing tempo, and I got answers like "you'll get it eventually" from my friends and "Breathe like you're smoking a cigarette" from my instructor (what?) amongst others. This is so much more helpful, just straight numbers,

This really helped on my recent scuba trip. Thank you. Was able to come back with 30-40bar more

What I really like about this technique is not only do I save air, and keep focus on my breathing, but it's like an underwater meditation. Focusing on my breath like that also helps me stay calm if I start to get a little panicky.

You are right when you say it's like an underwater meditation. I feel exactly the same when I dive. That's way scuba diving has so much in common with "on-land" meditation or yoga. Studies say you cannot be stressed and breathe slowly at the same time. And it works the other way around... In other words, if you "control" your breathing, you control your dive ...

Practicing breathing techniques on land is definitely a powerful tool you can use right away once you hit the water! (Please note we don't recommend any breathing skills development underwater) But what also helps build or restore self-confidence is getting familiar with your gear. But we've already mentioned it, haven't we? :-)

Wow ! Thank you for structuring it Patrick ! I always keep working on my breathing so this helped a lot .

Thank you so much! ❤ I'll practice because I have a scuba diving session within two weeks 😊 Last year I panicked and I couldn't breathe at all.

Outstanding, always good to have a baseline. Thank you

Thank you very much for the information and helpful training sheet and resources! 💖

Thank you very much. The breathing technic helps me a lot.

Thank you so much Patrick, this was helpful 👍

Better points than most I have seen.

You are welcome! I'm glad this short breathing workshop could help you. Please bear in mind this 4-to-6 breathing ratio is just a flexible reference. Feel free to adjust it according to your body and your needs. I recommend to practice this breathing exercise at the surface. Why? If you think too much about your breathing underwater, it may have the opposite outcome and stress you out. Practicing this exercise a few times on land before each dive will bring you the best results. Enjoy your diving! :-)

Hey there! I'm Eva. I help Patrick make these videos. Which "How to" video would you like us to do? What are you interested in or struggle with?

Keep rocking coach

Thank you 🙏

Thank you ❤

Breathing techniques help not only improve air consumption but also restore self-confidence. If you add meditation, you have the full recipe for happiness under the water! :-)

Cool channel

Patrick I am struggling with not letting any air out of my nose in my mask by accident... I am focusing on breathing through the mouth, but a little bit gets through my nose even if I try. Then my mask fills with water :/ how do I fix this problem

If one's exhalation is slower, wouldn't one tend to sink?

how do you keep your buoyancy level when doing this technique? Wouldn't you go up and down?

@saar144

You can’t. But how many times during a dive you need to maintain perfect buoyancy?

What if my lung capacity is large and with this rate of breathing I consume air very quickly?what happens when I take longer intervals between each exhale or inhale. Thanks

you need to fit the breathing technique for you. 4 seconds in and 6 seconds out is an arbitrary number. everyone has different size lungs. the point of the video is to take slow and steady breaths.

do you breathe in through nose exhale mouth?

@Enhakiel

you can't inhale with nose with a scuba mask ;)

i get dizzy if i breathe in for 4 seconds and out for 6. seems like im consuming way too much air than necessary.

You should inhale slowly to avoid inhaling too much air.
