One thing that I tried to keep in mind when I started diving the KISS Classic
about 18 months ago is that my breathing patterns would be different to OC.

The key differences being, there is no slightly forced injection from the Rebreather and
my lungs no longer form part of the buoyancy control.

Personally I reckoned these changes might lead to me shallower breathing.
Consequently I remind myself to breathe more deeply and to take a full breath
every few minutes.

I had one uncomfortable experience on my course. After a moderately hard
swim of about 20-30 yards I didn't feel right, hot and uncomfortable. Two nice
cool OC breaths and I felt better again.
