Dive time in v1.3 screwy?

Well keep in mind were talking about real life physics vs a computer 'model'.

My guess is that somewhere there is a set of values for the ballast tanks for the sake of example lets say 0 = empty 100 = full.

When you broach the surface they are probably somewhere around 60 and decreases over time to emulate 'draining'.

Just a guess.

Isn't that what I said. I know we are talking about a Computer 'model' not real life.
