If I am > doing long dives at high elevation, how do I figure deco? I have dived at the same altitude as Colorado for more than 30 years now, and have tried everything. Aside from some of the Decomputers that compensate for altitude, the best solutions are: 1) BSAC tables: these are easy to use, conservative and work exceptionally for excursion diving (diving at a different altitude to the one that you live at, i.e. are saturated at). These are Available direct from BSAC in England. 2) Buhlmann tables: these form the basis of the algorithm used ny many of the decometers on the market, particularly those form Europe. If you need more info, let me know. > Do I: > Use a capillary depth gauge, and use the standard tables (which ever) > Do some math to the standard tables to adjust depths for given altitude? > Adjust both depth and duration for given altitude? > > Help, I just moved to colorado from Florida and need to figure this out > before I get bent!! > > Thanks.. > Jason Richards > NSS/CDS 41539 > rchrds@ho*.co*.ed* > > -- > Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@terra.net'. > Send subscription/archive requests to `techdiver-request@terra.net'. > Greetings Prof JG van der Walt Head: Dept.
