It's why I always put my knife / flashlight away when fleeing Stalkers after I grabbed what I wanted. ^^
It's also very smart to put ones knife away while exploring in the Kelp Forests, having it out makes the Stalkers a whole bunch more aggressive.
(shiny metal things turn them on)
Took me two plays through's to realize that.
I figured out the swim-speed-reduction thing early on though.
Yes, I always hide the thing, I do it since maybe my very first play through. I used to watch one youtuber and I was sooo angry, because he would just keep the tools in hand. I couldn't take it, noooo!

Doesn't it tell you this with a pop up at some point?
I don't remember, but I've always known this since first playing.
Mind you, I habitually holster weapons in every game I'm able to, just for immersion. There's nothing more stupid than talking to an NPC giving you a task and you're pointing a gun in their face the whole time.

That's the reason I made this post; I saw someone swimming around on YouTube with their knife in hand.
Oh, here's one. I wouldn't push it, but don't assume that when you hit 0 Oxygen you'll die immediately. You hit 0, and the screen fades to black, and then you die. If you're almost at the surface, keep pushing.

This is where the air bladder is especially helpful (faster ascent, slightly, also, inflate it, then stow it, or it pulls ~3 seconds of O2 to inflate).
As well: be sure you are pointed exactly straight up from the moment you start ascending -- any slight angle will add precious seconds to your surfacing time (or even many seconds, if you're decked out with O2 tanks and mad deep).

One of the few things in gaming that gives me an actual rush. Only just making it as the screen fades to complete black. Phew.
You can make it after. You have ~2-3 seconds. Makes it tricky if you're aiming for a Seamoth / Cyclops to jump aboard ("c'mon, c'mon" click-click-click {Wilhelm scream})

You have about Three (3) more seconds after the screen goes black.
I guess it represents the fact that at that point, you are gasping for breath as you pass out and still grasping for straws to reach the surface or your submersible.
