Sorry but I don't follow. I dive air and our second dives are often a max of 60 ft and 60 minutes, same as the Nitrox divers. Although we usually spend most of the time in the 30 foot range so that we can enjoy the full 60 minutes.
What's your surface interval and initial depth from the 1st Dive?
You're also not spending the entire time at max depth which will give you a lot more credit with a computer. NDL's get significantly more generous in the 30-40' range.
Using SSI tables for Air (which are pessimistic but what I have) -
Dive 1: 90' max for 20 minutes = group F
Surface interval of 1 hour (the typical around here for a 4 hour, 2 tank trip) = group E
Dive 2: 60' max No-Deco Limit is 20 minutes.
Note that most spots here in the Northern Gulf, you don't stair-step dive - anything to see is on the bottom or within 10' feet of it so even diving a computer you can't gain effective no-deco time by working up in stages.
As fortune would have it, my last Air trip this summer matches the same dive sites I did last week on Nitrox for some comparisons.
From my computer logs:
Diving Air on a Aqualung i300 (PZ+):
Dive 1: 88ft Max, average around 84', 29 minutes total, 6 minutes of NDL remaining after 22 minutes when ascent started
Surface interval of 1 hour 29 minutes
Dive 2: Max of 68', average around 62', 31 minutes total, 14 minutes NDL remaining after 22 minutes when ascent started
Diving on EAN33 Aqualung i450T (PZ+):
Dive 1: Max of 90ft, average around 86', 41 minutes total, had 8 minutes of no-deco remaining after 33 minutes when ascent was started
1 hour 3 minute surface interval
Dive 2: Max of 68', average around 62', 44 minutes total, 18 minutes left after 37 minutes when ascent started (I was a bit of an air hog on this dive - 1st time spear fishing)
So even granting the longer surface interval for the Air dives, NDL differences between Air and EAN33 were:
- 41 minutes vs 28 minutes for the 1st dive
- 55 minutes vs 36 minutes for the 2nd
Computers algorithms can also make a big difference. I dove a Suunto Zoop in parallel with an i300 on a number of dives this summer and while both would be within 1-2 minutes on the 1st dive, the 2nd dive the Zoop would consistently grant 11 - 13 minutes LESS NDL putting it about 1/2 way between Air and EAN33 on the Aqualung computers.
