I practice this in my pool 5-6' of depth.. I start at one end of the pool and swim to the light in the wall of the other end, the point is to be dead on the spot I'm aiming for on the other wall when I get there only using my breath..
I also lie flat on the bottom, keep my body rigid, keep the tip of my fins on the bottom and do "push ups" with my breath. The trick is to never break the surface and get my regulator as close to the bottom without touching... It's tricky to do, but you really get a good idea how much difference a deeper or shallower breath will make. As well as controlling when and how deep to inhale/exhale to arrive where you want..
