I think your right. CO2 is something our body needs to keep moving. Otherwise it screws up the PH in our blood and the acidosis starts a new chain of events that breaks the body down.
I have even listen to instructors teach students to skip breathe. Unfortunatly many instructors are so under educated in diving to safely teach this sport.
Anther thing I would like to bring to light is that many diver don't even realize that they are skip breathing.
