This reminds me of a dive guide who I was with a couple of months ago...the first part of the dive was in waters 50 feet deep, ending in maybe 30 foot deep waters....his tank lasted him 90 minutes...
When you dive enough and are relaxed enough, your air lasts far longer....
My SAC (Surface Air Consumption - Equivalent) rate can drop as low as 8.5LPM (Litres per minute) or 0.3 cuft per minute.
If you keep fit and dive a lot you will be able swim around, even against a current, and still use very little air. Trim is very important.
I remember when I experienced just began diving, I would melt away by means of my oxygen in no time even although other people i experienced been diving with would nonetheless have lots of oxygen to hold on diving. Now which i dive on the frequent basis, I arrive throughout just the opposite getting true. I recently do a shallow dive and was in a location to acquire 1.5 several hours away from the traditional AL80 cylinder!
Breathing oxygen, you must dive shallow then :D
Diving 4-5 diving resort, everyone in the open sections of the day, there was no encounter a decorated restrictions.
