This is Boca Raton. I can easily have that fixed.

That translates to 1 bar every 3 meters which is high for scuba purposes,
but just about right for a college town.

I tried that line with my mum, and got cuffed upside the head for my
attempts.

Try using your chopsticks as a spear.... that bit of cultural
sensitivity really goes over well. Bonus points for leaving them
sticking in a bowl of sticky rice :)

I breathe in and out, as I ascend. Don't you?

Regardless, it is best to slowly ascend from your safety stop.

I try not to during the actual ascending process of my ascent, which goes
something like this from being neutral at the safety stop: (1) Inhale to
start ascending. (2) As soon as I start rising in the water column, begin
to slowly exhale until I've pretty much come to a stop. (3) Repeat with
step (1) until I hit the surface. If you consider step (2) the actual
ascent portion, then I just breathe out. Breathing in while ascending
terrifies me.
