Hi,
I live in California and I'm considering buying a home that sits at about 1,250 feet elevation.
In spring through fall, I dive a lot. Most of my weekends involve at least 1 day of diving. If conditions are good, I'll do 3 to 5 dives a weekend. I also do Catalina Island day trips where I go to the island for just the day, do 3 dives in a row which get me pretty close to my NDL, then go home.
Would there be any issue with diving and living at this "elevation". I know most agencies say going to 1,000 feet is about the max you want to go to, a lot of people say 2,000 feet. But maybe that's just for a quick pass before you drop back down? So really you shouldn't live higher than 200 feet? I don't know. Any advice you can give would be great.
EDIT: I'm also nitrox certified. I really only use it on my first dive when I go to Catalina or on dive trips since most of my local dive days don't take me anywhere close to NDL. But I could start using it more if I had to.
Thanks.
