I don't know how I could call this bottom time but here goes. Rainbow River drift helping with OW certifications. Depths ran from 21' up to about 5'. Up and down like a yoyo (good practice for bouyancy control) for 1:55 minutes. Still finished with 1100PSI.

We always knew you were an alien or something.Scuba_Jenny:
BTW next time we are at a group dive, I really need to check behind your ears for gills.
OP
When in Maui, the wife and I will get 90 minutes on our shore dives. We will do 3 in a row. In the water by 6:30 or 7. Makes for a long day but every bit relaxing. Head back to clean our stuff, eat, nap, read a book, and be knocked out by 8pm. Get right back up the next day and do it all over again. 14 days of diving. We used to do that every year till we discovered Cayman Brac.

I have several 90+ minute dives on sites in 15-20' of water that include a swim out and swim back off the beach, in which I surfaced with a half a tank(80/3k AL). My longest dives have been limited by buddies air consumption 
119 minutes, max depth 65-70ft, left with 500BAR (don't know how much in psi)
There was a lot of current but it was grass/sandy bottom muck dive. I was laughing too hard I surfaced accidentally just one minute before the attempted 2 hours, because my friend who surfaced earlier went down with a big splash right in front of my nose.
It was the last dive from a trip, and thinking about going back to work made me wanted to stay as long as possible.
During this last trip we had never dived less than 70-80 minutes, regardless the depth, up to 110 ft. Just because of other group on the boat, we needed to surface. They must hate us.

2hrs. 25 min.; 20' max on a reef; not much movement as I was shooting video. Much of that time was spent waiting in ambush on garden eels, yellow jaws and other timid critters. Isn't it funny how it didn't seem like 2 hrs. and 25 min.?

50 minutes on a night dive in Fiji.... water temp was 83. Not sure what my exit psi was but it was one of my most favorite dives.

Man, you guys (and gals) are making me feel like Captain Hoover here. I got excited over 47 minutes at 22' avg depth, 60 degree water, surfacing with 600 psi....but now I feel like I should curl up into the fetal position and cry. Maybe I'll just stop breathing altogether...

I did 182 minutes in Bonaire :11: , max depth 30 feet barely moving just to see how long I could do it. Most of the dive in the 20's.....Over 3 hours and I was a prune when I surfaced!
