Surface Air Consumption Calculator
*These calculations are based on sea/ocean values.
This script calculates a diver's SAC rate, in Cubic Feet per Minute, based on his
average depth, length of time at that depth, how many PSI of gas were used, and the size
of his tank.
The calculation is performed by calculating the volume of gas used
(PSI used * ( Tank volume rating / Tank pressure rating )), dividing this by the
time at depth, then dividing this result by the pressure at the average depth
((D/33)+1). This result is the Surface Air Consumption (SAC).
