I was reading that thread and it disappeared while I was reading. Seems that we have a lot of disappearing threads around here...
 
NetDoc:
Now Laurens,

we get ENOUGH nit picking as it is! :D However, I will divulge our Rule #1:

HAVE FUN!

Way to blow another hole into the DIR moderator conspiracy! :D
 
NetDoc -- did you ever do your SA test? A couple months back you were thinking of trying it.

I don't know what my SA/SAC? rate is and have forgotten how to calculate it. Would you remind me?

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.
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.

I'm not sure if they are the same either, which is why I wrote both. SAC is what I'm interested in knowing. How much variance is allowed at 2 ata? Does going to 34 ft or 32 ft briefly throw it all off? How do you find SAC at 1 ata? Thanks for the tip, Kim.
