This is probably another old chestnut that I missed but can anyone give me an answer please
on one of the sports diver assesment the following questing is asked
Two Sports Divers are diving together, one on
air, the other on Nitrox 36. Which answer
correctly shows the maximum depth and dive
time they can plan for a no-stop dive. They
are at sea level, and have not dived for at
least 24 hours.
depth dive time
in metres in minutes
A: 30 20
B: 30 30
C: 35 12
D: 35 14
E: 35 20
The correct answer is then given as A 30metres for 20 mins
surely this would give the diver a pp of 1.44 which is over the 1.4 recomendation. I can understand there being a facillity for this mix and depth in the tables as there may be a "just deeper or just longer" scenerario but is this question suitable for an assesment
Probably been covered before but an answer would be nice anyway
Cheers
Mark
