I thought that your smallest bubbles assended at about 20m/min 60ft/min
nearly twice the rate that you want. This came from the good old days of the
US navy dive tables. The assent rate was 60ft/min, this was decided by
commity, comercial divers didn't want to hang around that long. The new rates
of 12m/min come from the new tables and computers.
