This.I had to go back to the first post to see who this advice was meant for. It was directed to new divers. I read through the article on SAC and gas usage calculations and found the advice sound enough, but came away thinking this is putting "the cart before the horse". We need to get those new divers to pay more attention to their SPG'S especially on deeper dives.
Why not, you can find good team for diving by base 12We need to switch to base-12. Then dividing by 2, 3, or 4 will be easy while dividing by that Yurrupean 10: too hard.
Good luck lobbying that change

I would have expected Storker to be more receptive to this change, given national heritage. I admit that I did not look this up to confirm it, but I was taught years ago that the Vikings had a base 12 system, and it had a big impact on northern European traditions.
