An old timer told me I was breathing too fast underwater

He said I was burning through my air like a kid with a soda, lol. Switched to slow deep breaths after that and my bottom time practically doubled, has anyone else had to unlearn bad habits from dive school?

For the longest time I thought fast shallow breathing was just how it went. An old divemaster buddy of mine finally showed me how wrong I was by having me just hover in place and focus on my breaths. After that my air consumption got way better and I felt a lot more relaxed on every dive.

Oh man my buddy did the same thing and it totally changed how he dives!
