 No... not again....please..............
The BSAC tables always get a bashing. They are designed for a one big dive and then a little second one, maybe, sort of. That is - they shy from repetitive diving whereas the Buhlmann and its derivatives are designed to give greater off gassing (per dive) to facilitate repetitive diving.
You can't compare the two.
As best I know the BSAC tables do not have a bad record. However the club I dived with were almost all computer (hence AAB's ZHL) users, so there could maybe be some argument about just how much they (88s) have been dived (in last few years).
My only gripe with the 88s is the ascent rate. I think with the better knowledge we have today this should be modified. I suspect Hennesy would agree.

PS the safest are the Mexican Cavalry tables - well known fact. Stay down til you're bored then come back. |
