I must admit I'm a bit confused as well, the figures are a bit meaningless. The only thing it proves is that a diver under those conditions would have a good chance of surviving 2h37m. For practical diving it's a bit useless. Without knowing how those criteria can be traded off and interpolated e.g. if I go deeper in warmer water than the tests, how do I guesstimate what I can do in the shallows?

It's not a criticism of the test specifically, well done Jetsam for releasing it but without the means of applying that in the real world then it isn't really doing us any good. And, as I said, that's nothing to do with Jetsam, it's just the current state of our knowledge.

I'll keep sticking to my 3hr(ish) limit.
