Alan, for what its worth, my opinion. I also use 2 computers, but both run the same algorythim. Now if I set them differently due to error, I always use the most conservative unless an emergency forces me to surface. I think your real mistake was not to do deco time on the conservative one...

How long passed from the time of your decent until you hit the surface first time?

I stand corrected, must have missed it first time. Thats what happens when you read stuff at 3 am while at work

Ok so how have I gone with my CCR experience? Well I sure have had an interesting time (read a number off issues). In the main due to a previously poorly maintained CCR unit combined with inexperience due to just starting to use it. Issues During the course I had multiple electronic faults, to...
