👉 Dive math, also known as dive time calculation, is a method used in scuba diving to estimate the time a diver will spend underwater before needing to ascend, based on factors like dive depth, air consumption rate, and the diver's buoyancy control. The process involves calculating the maximum safe time a diver can spend at a given depth without running out of air, which is determined by the diver's maximum safe depth (MSD) and the maximum rate of air consumption (MRC). The formula typically considers the diver's depth, the pressure at that depth, and the air consumption rate per minute to find the maximum safe time. This ensures divers maintain a safe ascent rate and avoid decompression sickness by staying within safe limits.
