1. Stay Warm
If you dive uninsulated, you’re heating the ocean with your body, which increases your metabolism and oxygen-burn rates. Experiment with different amounts of protection.
2. Go Slowly
Rapid, jerky movements burn more air due to increased resistance underwater.
3. Look, Ma, No Arms!
Imagine you’re a Tyrannosaurus rex, with huge legs and tiny little arms. Waving your arms and hands around burns incremental air, with little or no impact on your position.
