Hi!
Does anyone know how much oxygene a uncounsious diver use per minute?

I calculated that when I hold my breath for about 6 minutes which is my record I have about 6 liters of air in my lungs which equals 1.3 litres of pure O2 and about the same amount stored in my blodd and my vesseln, I know that i blackout at about 4-5 percent so that leaves my with a use of 0.4 liters of O2 per minute. Should be something like that or perhaps even much lower?
