Running time
Running time data is indicative and is nevertheless referred to use:
- with a vehicle in perfect running order
- in moderate environments
- in the absence of currents
- with an average load (diver with a double tank 12+12 litters)
- in perfect buoyancy conditions
As a rule, the running time should be calculated to cover the descent and ascent. An
EMERGENCY running time, which will vary according to the type of dive, must also be
established.
In any case, when planning a dive you MUST consider the event of returning to the exit
point without the HDV.
21 Speed
Speed depends on the same factors as running time. The speed chosen should be
compatible with the type of dive and be adjusted to match that of your buddies.
