markfm:NetDoc -- did you ever do your SA test? A couple months back you were thinking of trying it.
I'm not sure if SA and SAC are one and the same. I can tell you how I was first taught to calculate my SAC though.pilot fish:I don't know what my SA/SAC? rate is and have forgotten how to calculate it. Would you remind me?

At 10 meters/33 feet check your air and write the number down. Now swim at that depth for a certain time - 10 minutes works well. At the end note your remaing air. You now have the amount of air you used in 10 minutes at 2ATM. From that it's simple to calculate how much you use per minute at 1ATM - which is your SAC.
