I have posted this on another tread but think it deserves its own

This is a speadsheet I made for calculating air consumption at various depths and how much you would use to return to the surface for 1 or 2 divers and also allows you to compair 2 tank sizes.
Numbers in green can be changed to suit your dives and tanks.
If anyone thinks I have made a mistake (or two) please let me know.

By the way its metric and I copyed the idea from someone who posted one in imperial.
 
Nice!

How much of a hassle would it be to get you (or anyone else??) to make one in imperial units? The only thing I know how to do in Excel is plug in numbers, otherwise I'd have a go at it myself.

On this board do a search for "Rock Bottom" for a far more complete discussion on gas mangement and when to begin your return to the surface.

This is excellent, thanks!!

I was going to do something similar but simpler myself (just a list of depth and air required), but this is so much better.

Hey all thanks for the thread and Spread sheets. What would be considered a normal range for RMV? Mine was .515 for my last dive.
 
that's very good, Submariner. i am an air hog at .79

one of my dive buddies (Jeandiver) has .51 i believe.. something
obscene!

:wink:
