    Default SAC levels

    In another thread, SAC (surface air consuption) levels came up kind of randomly.
    I was wondering what kind of levels as cave divers you guys are running, Im at about .75, which seems t be pretty bad but im just gonna blame it on my 30 year old regulator

    On systems like Devils or LR, I get about 0.52 with a stage and wetsuit,
    I get 0.33 durring deco.

    Human Evolution makes me wonder: from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Dry Caves to Wet Caves. Nevertheless, from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Org. Caves still to Org. Caves! DAMN ...

    I get a .45 to .6 depending on the dive and the system (.6 would be me in bad form or exerting myself a decent amount). In OW (and probably deco) I have a .25 to .3 or so

    I simply have never calculated it. I dive with my usual buddies. If I need to go farther then we add more tanks. I seem to keep up all right! Cindy

    I bet you win lots of contests! The only one I ever won was a mail-in for froot loops. They sent me a toucan sam.... I was scarred for life! :P

    I live with a programmer/numbers freak... you can't blame me for calculating this stuff - it is not my fault ; )
