Meg ANDI Workbook & Gauges

Randy

Hello Rebreather World; I am not sure if I am even using this correctly but here goes. Question to all North American meg divers. I am planning purchasing a meg. and I am presently studing the ANDI meg workbook. It appears that the meg is in ATA and all examples and charts are in bar and meters. My question is what guages do you use? Bar/meters or PSI/feet? Seems if you have to learn to dive again it would be easier to not have to convert. Hope someone can help. Thanks Randy

You are aware that Canada is officially a metric country?
Anyway the meg can be set for imperial or metric units.

You can set the meg for imperial or metric, you have a choice when you order of either bar or psi pressure guages. Sounds like you would be at home with bar guages and the software set to metric. If you take the course from ISC Leon is bilingual (speaks metric and imperial).

Meters/ata or atm/liters. All make it easy to calculate. You don't need to convert and learn again. What you do is that you take a few reference points that you're comfortable with and keep them in mind in both systems.
I'm a metric guy and I teach in both systems. At least that works for me.

Philippe is correct, metric calculations are much easier and more quickly done.
Unless you've grown up imperial and just can't get metric to work for yourself
stay with metric for Rebreather diving.
Got metric Cochran gauges on my SK, timer and computer set that way, too.

but the setpoint is ATA always (at least for now)

This is the correct approach.. PO2 should always be ATA regardless of units..

Whereever possible the ANDI textbook tries to put metric and imperial side by side.. Where trying to show the exact value the specific unit will be used.. for most purposes you can treat 1bar=1ata its a 1.3% error..

If you have a specific quesion about a specific chart, just drop me a PM (with chart number and page) and I'll answer you..
