I know this is an open ended question and subject to many variables. I am a new diver and know my gas compsumption still needs improvement. I am diving mostly AA72's and am getting about 37 minutes on them with a max depth between 20 and 30 feet in about 53 degree water.
I talked to another more experienced diver today and he was saying he got 80 minutes on a al80 with about the same depths at the same location. I have not been in the water with this diver yet, but is this possible? It just seems like a long time. The reason why I ask, like I said I am a new diver and always looking for people to dive with, I have pretty bouyancy control but do not want to hold up experienced divers with my gas consumption as a new diver.
What are all you getting for time on a 80cf tank in cooler water.
Thanks
