Maximum Depth Calculator for Scuba Diving Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Maximum Depth Calculator for Scuba Diving calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the tank pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch).
  2. Enter the breathing rate in breaths per minute.
  3. Enter the no-decompression time in minutes.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the maximum safe depth.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the maximum safe depth:

Maximum Safe Depth = (Tank Pressure - Ambient Pressure) / Breathing Rate * No-Decompress Time

Where:

  • Tank Pressure: The total pressure in the scuba tank in PSI.
  • Ambient Pressure: The atmospheric pressure at sea level, which is typically 14.7 PSI.
  • Breathing Rate: The number of breaths taken per minute.
  • No-Decompress Time: The time spent underwater without needing to decompress.

Important Notes

This calculator provides an estimate of the maximum safe depth for a given set of dive parameters. It is important to always follow local dive regulations and consult with a certified dive professional before attempting any dive.
