Bay King / Megan Sue reefs

The Bay King and Megan Sue were sunk together, 180 feet apart; close enough to share a single mark on the chart. The larger Bay King is to the east of the Megan Sue.

There is some disparity about the length of the Megan Sue. The Reef Program says 75 feet, the Coast Guard says 60 feet, and the builder says 54 feet. To me, the Coast Guard figure looks about right. Reef Program measurements are often off by several feet, it's not easy to measure a ship with a tape measure. The builder's figure is probably a typo.

There are a number of computer software packages available that allow you to simulate different dive profiles and create custom decompression tables without actually going in the water. Most of them have graphical interfaces, and allow you to vary not only the dive profile, but gas mixes, decompression mixes, decompression stops, algorithm, conservatism, and many other factors. Software like this is a staple in the technical diving field but is also useful to the recreational diver. Here are a couple, with links:
