O2 During Safety Stop?

[freedivernd]

.... How do you resist the urge to hold your breath when SCUBA diving after training so much to do just that?

Leon,
it's tough.. I've caught myself holding my breath quite often while scubadiving, it seems I usually do it when I'm focasing on something. I also probably make a lot more use of emptying my lungs for negative bouyancy than I ever used to. Fortunately neither has caused me any problems, especially since holding your breath after an inhale under the water and ascending, especially near the surface, is a big no-no.
Speaking of diving... I'm praying for enough rain so I can shut down on the harvest for a bit and run over to the lakes for good drop. Unless it rains, I'm swamped with work. Maybe I should be praying for no rain so I can get this harvest done .
