Here is another great video from our friends at Divers Ready on how to breathe better on scuba. In the video, they examine how to calculate SAC rates (surface air consumption).
Why Should You Calculate Your SAC Rate to Breathe Better on Scuba?
Tracking your Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rate is essential for improving your scuba diving skills. By monitoring it across multiple dives, you can spot trends and work on making your air consumption more efficient.
Scuba diving doesn’t have a scoreboard, making performance hard to measure. But your SAC rate gives you a way to track progress with real data. Over time, you can identify patterns, adjust your techniques, and extend your bottom time. Want to become a better diver? Start by calculating your SAC rate!
To learn tips for better breathing there is no substitute for experience and you can work with your instructors or even take courses that look at the way you move in the water. This can enable you to conserve air as you improve your dive practices. You can then use SAC rate consumption to monitor your dives.
