nose breathing, and overbreathing snorkles

Sutty · 8th February 2006, 18:49

When I posted the other thread about nose-breathing one of the things I was wondering was whether the negative static lung loading of back-mounted counterlungs contributed to the effect (mainly cos I get it on a kiss as did another Kiss diver I know, but none of the inspo users I asked had had the problem). Of course a snorkel has negative loading effect too.

I've got a new take on this subject since setting up my FFM. It is far easier to get caught out breathing through your nose involuntry because the FFM will allow you to do so, but it will create a CO2 rich enviroment inside the dead airspace of your mask, and therfore is imperritive that whilst diving a FFM you take a consious effort to 'NOT' breath through your nose.
