My RMV varies between 0.50 to 0.75 cu ft per min, however I used the larger value for the dive plan modelling.
Additionally, I normally now dive with a pony bottle when I am diving NDL, so I am not normally concerned about where in the red zone my SPG needle is, as long as it is close to 500 psi.
If you have not discovered a pony bottle yet, then I would say that you are either still learning how to scuba dive, or else you are another one of Chuck's sock puppets.
Chuck is a bright person, aside from his slightly pyschotic personality, however when it comes to scuba, he is only an old Basic Open WAter diver with a Nitrox card, and not very good at figuring out best mixes, best reserves, best tank sizes, and best dive plans.
That is why he is still dependent on his Oceanic dive computer. Someday he won't need it anymore. But that day is obviously not yet.
