When trapped in an air pocket does breathing slowly prolong the amount of time you have?
So there is roughly 21% oxygen in the air. When taking a "normal" breath you saturate your blood with oxygen and exhale air with roughly 16% oxygen.

With that in mind, I am curious if changing your breathing patterns would actually have an effect on the amount of time before suffocation when trapped in an air pocket.
