Air consumption?

[Gidds]

I learned today that it takes me about 30-45 minutes to blow through 1000psi in cold water in a very slight current. Good, bad or indifferent?

How deep were you?

Average depth? Are we to assume an AL-80? With or against the current?

Ave. depth (new site to us, we were looking for the deeper water), AL 80, against the wee current. Want my measurements and other vitals too?

You may share any details you like but the depth is essential. Remeber those gas laws?

That would put your SAC (or RMV if you prefer) at .42-.64 Depending upon if you were down for 30 or 45 min (big difference) Good or bad is kind of irrelevant - it just "is" the way it is. It may give you a baseline for comparison against yourself and planning future dives in similar conditions, but that's about it.

Hope that helps
