Breathing Techniques For Scuba Divers

Breathing techniques are essential for improving your scuba diving experience. New divers often take big breaths, which can affect buoyancy and lead to wasted air. Instead, focus on deep belly breathing, which enhances efficiency by minimizing carbon dioxide buildup. This helps divers feel less “starved” for air and allows for better control while photographing marine life. Good breathing not only maximizes bottom time but also positively affects buoyancy and positioning for capturing underwater images.
