    Yes, on thirds. My first time doing the Mile Run for my "graduation" dive I used 1300psi from a set of 95s. My SAC rate is lower now.

    With a stage, piece of cake. The most difficult part would be that I don't have a P-valve on my drysuit, and that dive would take three hours.

    On a dive in Peacock what would be your average breath per minute?

    This made me curious. I pulled out my logbook and a calculator.

    Rick used 179 CF to do the Mile Run. When I did it in February I used 158 CF. You did it on 93 CF. So you aren't breathing too darn often!

    I have to call B.S. on this one, or you have to prove it to me someday.

    I don't doubt it - I've never dove with Sludge, but I've had more than one cave buddy with SAC rates in that range.

    I can't seem to get mine below about 0.65. Probably I'm too stout, or I drink too much stout, or both...

    Edit: Disregard that last comment, I misread the original post, I thought Sludge was talking about the GT on an Alum 80 only.
