@elvijoensen I have, 4th time was Monday as a part of my DM training, i don't find it stressful because i know my gear in and out and i know my buddy and his gear, i was surprised that this is considered a stress test.
ture harry45 but there are good scuba stories on the net too. My favorite site is the myscubastory site. They have shark diver attack videos, true scuba diving stories, lost buddy stories, dive accident stories and videos. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one - enjoy :)
From the 2008 PADI Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving, chapter 5-16:
Another way hypercapnia (excess CO2 in your respiratory and circulatory systems) occurs is through skip-breathing - momentarily holding each breath before exhaling...Intentional skip-breathing is usually done in the mistaken belief that it extends your gas supply. However, a decrease in ventilation causes CO2 in your blood to increase and stimulate breathing. Therefore, any gas saved is likely to be negligible.
@seanhorgan - Well you are right about the CO2 absorbation into your body. In this video we are holding our breaths (this video is shot in a pool and this stress test would be done in confined water enviroment that is no deeper than 6 meters) so the CO2 absorbation would not be of crusial significance. On deeper dives we do not hold our breaths but we (hold) slow down the exhalation so we get the same air to last longer without compromise safety.
@elvijoensen: Thank you for the reply. Now it is clear to me. I have always thought of that idea too. Blowing bubbles or exhaling is only very crucial during ascent only due to expanding air.
I agree with you that it's ok to hold your breath when descending or staying on same level.
Nice video..thanks for posting. Keep posting for more.
I have a question though, aren't you supposed to never hold your breath? or I mean shouldn't you be blowing small bubbles when your regulator is out of your mouth?
In Open Water Diver you are told to never hold your breath, in case of a blow-out! In deeper diving skills, you learn to hold your breath to save air. (For example have I dived to 51 meters, bottom time 10 minuttes, with 16 l/min).
A experienced diver will remember to breath out on ascend!
Blowing small bubbels is only nessesary on ascend!
This is a stress test?

You are right. It would have made everything easyer.
We had 4 kilo weight integradet in our BCD, but when taking the BCD of, we had a posetive boyancy. We should have had the weights around our legs!
