Anthony,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
We have a "fairly simple" method of testing for VO2 max on a bicycle 
ergometer, using the measurements of work output from the ergometer 
(calories, joules, etc) along with heart rate from a polar vantage XL heart 
rate monitor (with PC down load) and body weight. This all plugs into a nice 
little equation, but I may be able to come up with an easier approximation 
for you and other tech divers. Give me a few more days untill I can get a 
hold of the guy I go to as the "top expert" on exercise physiology, Terry 
Giles....he may have an easier method. 
Regards,
Dan
