    Dive Table "Calibration"

    Are Dive Tables "calibrated" for Salt Water or Fresh Water?

    I know the difference is trivial but enquiring minds need to know
    Science will fly you to the moon.
    Religion will fly you into a building.

    Most ive seen are salt.

    Worth noting that dive computers work on absolute pressure so dont need calibrating (even if their depth readout is salt or fresh).
    Anyone taking offence at anything in my posts - tough. It's only an internet forum. Stop being over-sensitive. The real world isn't as warm and fuzzy.
    Remember, underwater only YOU are responsible for YOUR own safety. Nobody else is.

    The difference between salt and fresh is so small as to render the point moot.
