Hello all

I bought one of these recently to use for mixed gas work where my Aladdin couldn't.

I couldn't find the ascent rate used in the accompanying manual, so took a look at the uwatec site and found the ascent rate for the Aladdin computers (variable). It is as follows:
depth [m]:       speed [m/min]:
<6                 7
<12                8
<18                9
<23                10
<27                11
<31                13
<35                15
<39                17
<44                18
<50                19
>50                20

I'm assuming (from the wording on the website) this is used for the uwatec timer also, if so, this varies considerably from a standard 10m/min ascent rate (particularly at depth) many tables are cut for.

Does anybody have a definitive answer to the uwatec ascent rate?

Thanks
