What is so bad about ascending at 6m/min and not 10m/min. ?
I was recently in a training for Trimix and the instructor was adamant about the 10m/min ascent rate, which I fail to maintain or sometimes even reach, my buddy had two Shearwater DC, and he was able to do better job on our practices, I had a Rec computer that was beeping all the way up to the stops.
For the course I had purchased a divecomputer.eu, ( that is what I was able to afford ) which I pickup one day before going to the training and had not time to read the manual, I only entered the gas mixes and the GF, but had not time to read what were the ascent rate bars meaning, I mention to the instructor that I was using it just to watch depth and time, the stops were followed with a slate, beside that I honestly had no clue what else to do with it except change the gases depending on the stops.
Now that I have more time and I'm reading the manual the ascent bars on this tec computer are from 1 to 3m/min ( green bars 1 to 3 ), 4 to 6m/min ( yellow bars 4 and 5 ) and 7m/min ( one red bar ), so there is no way to tell how fast I'm going beyond 7m/min.
