I LOVE ScubaBoard!!!! @soggybadger asked a question "Anyone not measure their SAC?" He got several responses and then he said
I realize that everyone who has posted (including myself) had something they thought was germane to SAC measurement. There has been some great info regarding the calculation and use of SAC, RMV, and other acronyms, but the real answer to the OP's question (which is kind of posed backwards) is "No, there are a LOT of people who DO measure their SAC in one form or another".
Have a GREAT day!

There has now been 3 pages of discussion of what SAC is, what RMV is, why someone would use these, the importance (or non-importance) of confusing them, the need for standard terminology, what the implications to reserve air are, why we need to know reserve air, the fact that 10 out of 11 divers in a bar don't even know what SAC is (I really liked that one), links to articles on SAC/RMV (thanks, Bob), links to YouTube, etc. etc. etc.Thanks for the replies fellas. I took that as no's.
