??? regarding theoretical nitrogen loading/compartment

[Ann Marie]

The whole concept of compartments and nitrogen loading is kind of unclear to me. If I am correct on my concept, then I have answered the following question correct:

In feet of pressure, how much nitrogen would the 5, 10, 20 and 60 minute halftime compartments each have after 60 minutes at 60 feet?

5 minute compartment: 60 fsw (full)
10 minute compartment: 60 fsw (full)
20 minute compartment: 52.5 fsw
60 minute compartment: 30 fsw

Is this correct?
Thanks!!

If by "feet of pressure, how much nitrogen" you mean the weird units PADI uses, the ones that don't depend upon whether you are breathing air or nitrox, then your answers for the DM quiz are correct.

In real life, things like what mixture you are breathing counts.
