Does anyone have the link to the website that calculates your SAC for you? I vaguely remember seeing a URL about 6-7 months ago. The website offered a pretty simple JAVA app that you plugged your tank size, starting pressure, ending pressure and a few other things.

Thanks!
 
Yeah, I've got an Excel spreadsheet. If you have Excel I'll email it to you, just send me your address in a PM. It also calculates nitrox PPO2, rock bottom times, has a logbook integrated into the SAC calculator, figures available/used gas, equilibrium pressure, and air time remaining.
 
Try this if you can't get a software program

Some of us are slow -- need to start logging post times in seconds :)
 
Bring a slate and mark times at different depths.
 
You can calculate your SAC rate, if you download the (every 15 seconds) data point dive depth figures for your (Aeris or other brand) dive computer. Simply export the incremental depth figures into a spreadsheet (via your included software) and then calculate the average (from the sum of the depth figures divided by the total number of figures). This is how your derive the average depth from your dive profile history for any given dive.
