Chers Lou.
The figures used were for maths calcs only. tis true that currently I seem to be guzzling at 25l/min surface but on a 12l that is actually getting me close to RDP limits if actually average 15m (on a 20m dive) and consequently lower consumption. So I just needed to be sure of the theory re: consumption and gas planning. The other site seems to be bashing consumption rates around that dont make sense. I needed confirmation that I'm not bonkers. They are also debating ascent rates (its on the equipment page though if interested), you know which site? Matt
