When Cousteau sent his first shipments of AquaLungs to Southern Florida and to Southern California, he enclosed instructions with them saying "Dont hold your breath while using it." That is the origin of that phrase
When I express it, I try to keep it as close to Cousteaus's original phrasing as I can, out of respect for him.
