I was just going back through my log and computing my SAC for each dive. While doing this I noticed something rather strange that I cannot explain. That is for all of my local dives (Southern California) my SAC has been in the range of 0.90 to 0.95 (but trending down), and for the dives in places like Cayman, Roatan & Cozumel my SAC was around 0.65. Can anybody help me explain what maybe the problem?
My initial thought was that it had to do with the fact that I was diving off of boats while traveling and diving from shore when local. But I looked at some of my local boat dives and those were around a rate of 0.88. Also, my equipment is probably not a factor as I have always used my own gear.
I realize that all of these values are rather high, but I have only been diving since November and have logged about 25 dives. I am just trying to figure out why there is such a large difference in my SAC rates.
