I've been taught too many times to breathe deeply. Should I fill up my lungs as much air as I can, then exhale as much as I can, then go on with that for the rest of the dive? I feel there's quite a change in buoyancy when this happens.

buoyancy changes are normal.. breathe from your diaphragm and hold the air in for a few secs, keeping your airway open at all times.. and finally, exhale.. do it slowly and regularly.. if you feel your diaphragm moving, you are breathing deep enough..

No one can accurately say how somebody breathes underwater. it is important that a diver breathes in a way that he could get the right amount of oxygen he needs.

I breath in and out really slowly. i was told to breathe about 4 seconds in and 4 or more out. dont worry about if your inhaling and exhaling takes amount of time, just try to breathe slowly and deeply.

If you start to panic, still try to concentrate on breathing. Slowly and deeply fill your lungs with air. Generally, one can release a breath before it even affect buoyancy.

Maybe buoyancy comes with practice. I could probably dwell on this: if I sink, i'd put in a little air.. if I float, i'd take out some air. Hopefully this would work for me next time.
