Mid-altitude diving

[_Blue]

My local diving is done at around 6000', so every local dive is an altitude dive. My computer (Oceanic Veo 100) automatically adjusts for altitude but before I got it I just did the theoretical adjustments to the tables. I bought a slate that has the conversion tables printed on the back and used them when planning dives. I love my computer but using the tables with altitude conversion is not hard, just make sure you know how to use them because you do need to make a few adjustments.

Here is a great explanation of altitude diving: 8th Element Diving - Scuba Math - Altitude Diving: Understanding the Tables

Should you be of the mathematical sort, it includes formulae to calculate your theoretical ocean depth.

Not a big concern for me in Florida. Hope you enjoy your local diving.

Just my 2 cents but.

Comps are going to be our second investment after mask/fins/snorkel;

I would get the computers last after everything else you would want. No sense having a computer if you don't have regs, BC or BP&W, and dry or wetsuits.
