    Ahh! NASDS Scuba Time Calculator! We were required to compute our SAC rates after every dive for our first 100 dives.

    That's not mine; it's in my NASDS logbook pouch. But I quit computing my SAC rate after 200 or so dives. The problem with the STC is it computes psi/minute, rather than cu ft/minute, so your SAC rate changes when you use different cylinder sizes.

    That's the same type of calculator that SSI uses to teach OW Students to calculate SAC rate. It is of no use when unless you always use the same size cylinder.

    If nobody claims it, you should donate it to the Cave Diving Museum.

    I still have the same NASDS "computer" that I got with my first scuba certification from Hal Watts in 1971. I also still have the original Scubapro Jet Fins, purge mask and snorkel that Hal sold me although they have long ago been retired. When you got certified with Hal back then he sort of "required" Scubapro everything.

    I even still have my original NASDS scuba workbook signed by Hal.

    But does your C-card have the microfilm embedded in it? Mine does.
