What's the longest bottom time you have done on an Al 80

[sharkattack]

Just curious.

Best for me was about 90 minutes, max depth 50' mutilevel dive, in 78* water. Wife was the same.

80 min with a max depth of 92'. Really only about 20 of those minutes were spent at 90', the remaining 60 were spent looking for a lost weight pouch between 15-40'.

I did about 50 mins at 25-30 ft and still had about 1000 psi left over

An hour, at 25' and 60F.

But it's not really a contest, so let's not go below our ascent/exit psi just to be able to set a "record", personal or otherwise ;-)

Yeah, ofcourse not. My long dives have always been shore dives where I don't surface till I'm walking up out of the beach/entry

155 min. on a steel 80, max depth 18fsw. Reef clean up. Came in with over 500psi.
128 min. on a AL 80, same dive as above, a year earlier.

122 minutes 2 weeks ago on a night dive. Max depth 68 ft. average depth calculated by my computer was 19 ft. Water temperature was 41F under the thermocline and 68F water over it.

Last night, stayed 82 minutes, max depth 102 ft, avg, 34 ft, temperature same as above.

Last week, stayed 84 minutes, max depth 103 ft, avg, 34 ft, temperature same as above. (always the same year round anyway)

My last 4 dives makes a total of 370 minutes (6h10) on al80's. Night dives are so relaxing

my previous longest al80 dive was 98 minutes in shallow water (max 30ft) but that was back in 1997.

Do pool dives count?

after 155 minutes, i wouldn't worry about air but about the fact I dont have a p-valve

Sure.
