I work pretty hard at doing it on purpose.

I set my neutral buoyancy at about 3/4 full lungs, and inhale very slow
and deep.

My exhalation is short and fast.

When I need to ascend, I pump my lungs pretty full and hold.

The only hit I ever noticed was when I was trying to keep up with Rich
Lesperance.

I had a -thundering- headache for about ten minutes back on the boat.

I agree.

Breathing slow and even is the best way for most, and safer, too.

Sorry to hear that. If I do it at all, it is exceedingly rare.

Works like a charm for me.

I'm pretty sure nobody is claiming that Katie Cruise is a virgin.

I almost lost a pint. Must remember to take a leak before I read this

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't say she wasn't... only that nobody
was claiming she was.

Dumb bastard! Anybody can claim that she WAS, at one time.

She might even claim she IS, if she wanted to. All she had to do is
to
do what one bimbo did -- had plastic surgery to restore her hymen
"damaged" from previous marriages before getting married to a dumb
ass and then invited national TV news to report their feat.

-- Bob.
