Hi Don. The repetitive group designation upon arrival at altitude will vary with the table you are using. I never saw you state you are using PADI's RDP, but by the posts form others, it appears that you are. PADI states to use 2 pressure groups every 1000' of altutide ascent. But last I knew, this also increases to 4 pressure groups when you start your ascent at some elevation (I forget what it is) above sea level. Now much of this appears to have just been based on coming up with some workable rules other than on any real scientific protocal. If you are using the Navy table (or a modified version therof), a pressure group of B is perfectly acceptable for the ascent you described. As far as the Oceanic computers go, they do not take into account any altitude ascent. They just make the typical corrections in allowable surface tensions based upon the standard ratio corrections (which in general are conservative). Now getting to your depth question, the typical correction tables do a double rounding ... which obviously penalizes you. If diving to 85 feet at 4800', you can treat this as an equivalent dive to 100' (not 110') in the ocean on air. As far as the safety stop depth goes, keep in mind it is only a safety stop. It's exact depth does not matter. Actually, if you are doing a "deep" dive, you should stage several safety stops and make your first one greater than 12 feet. There are several rules of thumb that can be used. Just choose what ever is easiest for you to remember. The one I recommend is to take your deepest depth and divide it by 3. You need not make any altitude corrections ... just use actual depth. In other words, if diving to 90', your first stop should be at 30' for 1 min, followed by another 1 min stop at 20' and then a 3 min stop at 15' (or 12 if you would prefer at altitude). I hope this helped.
