Bent is (usually) fixable. Dead (usually) aint.
Personally I'd rather be neither... *shrugs*

Unless you subscribe to the "drown and resuscitate" school of air sharing
By the time I started diving below 100ft my SAC was already down to much better levels than are being quoted on this thread.
Reread his post. He's talking about 105 for EACH diver not for the pair:
"assumptions: are heart rate is up, our consumption is up. Worst case lets say our total consumption for both divers now is triple or 105 psi sac rate x 2= 210 psi sac rate."
miketsp,
My hypothetical i admit for air consumption is probably too high. Please realize these are not my sac rates but I trying to project for very new divers, with little training, going places due to peer pressure etc and getting into a worst case situation. Intent of this thread is accomplishing my goal of getting people like yourself who are experienced to share their knowledge so others will learn. You cannot tell me unequivally that even a 210 psi sac rate at 120' might not happen. I really don't know. The point of my thread again is too make the less experienced divers reading this board ask questions. Cheers pal.
