I was going through the profiles of my dives from a recent trip to Bonaire and found a good example of the effect of moderate exertion on gas consumption. This is a simple 70 min out and back dive on Bari Reef. On the way out, we were swimming against a brisk south current. On the way back, the current was lighter but still south. My overall RMV for the dive was 0.34 cu ft/min. On the way out my RMV varied from about 0.34-0.41 cu ft/min. On the way back my RMV decreased to 0.26-0.31 cu ft/min. My usual RMV on this dive when there is no current is around 0.3 cu ft/min.
