Was looking up info related to diving and stumbled across your community. Been diving for a couple years, been to Moorehead (N.C.) for some wreck dives, Florida Keys for reef and wrecks Virginia beach for wrecks. Don't know what it is about wrecks, perhaps the glimpses of history, but just love the experience; aquatic critters are a bonus! Just wish I had started diving when I first became aware of the sport. I've done many things, but none have introduced me to so many good people who really care and so many neat places.
I do have a question too: I am diving a Cochran computer and need a little info; where can I obtain the "liter capacity" of the various tank sizes rated in Cu/ft. The liter capacity is what the tank would hold if filled with a column of water. I think the problem arises from the fact that American tanks are rated in Cu/ft capacity at pressure while most others are rated by an actual water column in meters. The tanks are then stamped according to country of origin, does anyone have like a cross reference or chart for tanks? I currently have my computer set for steel 120 cu/ft at approx. 12 liters which I had read somewhere, but at times I use 80s if helping with diver training or using rental tanks. I just wish I had some kind of definitive chart to work off. :dazzler1:
