Quick Question, does anyone have the BSAC 88 tables to hand, and please could you let me know roughly what the altitude levels are, Max min on each level, and total max?

Also, does anyone know, do we have to add any corrections to the depth etc, or is it straight off the table what you read on your depth gauge (which will be inaccurate due to the lower surface ambient).

I am just referring straight to the tables, and what they tell me, not arguements on how good etc they are.
Cheers
Dave

The altitudes aren't simple numbers, they're lines - dependent on ambient pressure (at sea level) and altitude. You need the whole chart to do it properly i'm afraid

Yes, I know, I just wanted a quick idea of what the max min was at each level (left and right side of charts) as I couldn't remember what altitude they went up to.
