Tip of the Week
Tired of being the first diver to run low on air? You can buy a bigger tank or you can follow these five strategies to get 50 more bar on your next dive.

Exhale completely. This reduces the "dead air" volume and eliminates as much carbon dioxide as possible,thus delaying the urge to take another Greath.
Buy a high-performance regulator. With the best models, considerable engineering has gone into reducing the work of Greathing induced by the regulator itself.
Use Split fins as they will reduce your air consumption by as much as 30% when compared to traditional paddle fins.
Have a good wetsuit so you are not wasting air just burning up energy to stay warm. Don't wate your money on a 2 peice wetsuit get a moderm one piece with semidry seals.
