Scuba Calculators: SAC, Lift Bag, Calories Burned

I’m working on adding scuba calculators to DiveBuddy:

So far I have three and will be adding more as time permits. If you have suggestions on scuba calculators you’d like to see, send me the details (formula, links for reference, sample calculations).



Thank you,



Greg

Thanks for the calculators, I really like the calories burned, sure beats the comparison to running, and does’t even include lugging the gear to the boat or the water and back out.

Jimmy, that is so true! Hauling all that gear can turn a beach dive into a killer work-out!

What is your formula for calculating Liters/min?
For my dive of: 29 min, 75 bar used, avg depth of 8.56m, using a 12L tank (working pressure of 224, though not sure what that is used for)

Your calculator says I breathed 0.073 L/min, I calculate it as 16.72 L/min.

My formula: Used (bar) Tank Size (L) / Time (min) / Avg Pressure (bar) {avg pressure = avg depth / 10 + 1

75 bar 12 L / 29 min / (8.56/10 + 1) = 16.7212 L/min

You should allow decimals in the avg depth too.

Formatting got messed up, here is the last part again:

My formula: Used (bar) X Tank Size (L) / Time (min) / Avg Pressure (bar)

Avg pressure = (avg depth / 10) + 1

75 bar X 12 L / 29 min / (8.56/10 + 1) = 16.7212 L/min

Just added a 7th scuba calculator for Tank Air Volume:
