Surface Air Consumption
Basically, how much air you use - as a number in cubic feet / minute at the surface. Since gas consumption at depth is proportional to depth, and you know how much gas is in your tank, it's a useful tool to estimate how long you can stay at the bottom.

It's amazing what diving 4x per day for 2 weeks in Bonaire will do to your SAC rate. 
You do not need a computer for this. I use mine in gauge mode most of the time.
