Mares Puck - Basic question

[Leftyjeb]

Hi there,

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I can't find a clear answer as I look at the Mares Puck user guide:

In the log book, what is the little number to the far left? The User Guide suggests that it's an "ascension rate". 73? I ascended rather conservatively, so I have no idea what units of measurement a 73 would refer to. Thanks.

Hi:


At a certain moment in this diving you may have ascended at this rate. I don´t know how long you have to mantein this rate in order to be registred by the computer. I think if you ascend only very few feets at fast rate it won´t be a problem but the computer is going to register the fact and warn you.


Someone knows how long do you have to mantein certain ascend rate for be register by this computer?


Apologizes for my english, I am trying to improve it.

Yes, it is the maximum ascent rate you reached during the dive

.... 73? I ascended rather conservatively, so I have no idea what units of measurement a 73 would refer to. ......

If the Puck is set in imperial, that would be 73 ft / min. Quite fast indeed.
