Yes indeed it should of course be 10.000ft.Rather serious typo in there unless you even worse have your math all wrong..
1000ft is NOT 3048m, its 304,8 meters. 10 000ft is 3048 meters and most places called skydiving rather than scuba diving
I imagine it would put you in group X, meaning that you would need 2h:54min to reach group AI left my home at about 5,440 feet and drove 40 minutes to a place where I met two other friends for the purpose of carpooling. That was at about 8,230 feet. It took us over a half hour to get together and get started. (What is my pressure group now?) We drove through the foothills, ranging between 8,000-9,000 feet and began climbing the real mountains. It took us about a half hour to reach 11,000 feet. (What's my pressure group now?)
The "theoretical depth" DivemasterDennis discusses is more important overall but acclimating to altitude should not be overlooked.
Use a vintage capillary depth gauge for accurate depth.
You know, tigers can get very dangerous if you harass them
Where did you dive at 10,6k feet btw? Sounds like a bit of work
Whrere could I get a capillary gauge?
I would love to compare it with the reading on my Computer (just out of curiosity)
