You can control buoyancy by breathing a bit if you run minimum loop IE the minimum amount of gas in the loop for one breath. If you want to go up take one BIG breath and suck extra gas into the counter lungs and you go up. Then dump gas out of the nose and you go back down.
This wastes dill so its frowned upon but it does work.
What you cannot experience on OC is being able to hold a perfect stop totally motionless in the water but continuing a good deep diaphragm breathing cycle that is important for clean deco. You fill the counter lung to the necessary capacity and then just breathe away without moving an inch in the water column.
It takes a long time to master as its amazing how crap you were at buoyancy control on OC before but you looked good because you used your lungs as quick compensation. There is no hiding beh9ind lung capacity on a CCR. When you get it right on a CCR its like a knife edge thing it’s pretty nervy at first but after a while it gets better and better. I haven’t mastered it yet but I have short periods where it’s spot on and it’s a wonderful sensation.
On the bottom its different where as an OC diver breaths in to go up and out to go down the CCR diver tends to fin up slightly or fin down slightly. I have to say I don’t find it a big issue on the bottom but I do on deco.
