Don't blame Ross. The program on which ScubaBoard currently runs does not handle that sort of thing very well at all.
How about trying the following more true-to-life profile instead. You know your total bottom time at 130ft is 10 minutes so start with that deepest part first.
8 minutes at 130 feet
8 minutes at 100 feet
8 minutes at 70 feet
The above profile gives you 24 minutes which is closer to the total time of 25 minutes you have calculated. Nowhere in that progression have you pushed into deco.
So I would like to see some justification for the claim that Captain Sinbad's plan does not go into deco. Under what algorithm is that true? Are you saying that because you left the bottom within the limits you are OK? Leaving the bottom within limits only works if you head for the surface at the rate prescribed by the tables.

For me, only when I'm narked.
John: This was from Depth Averaging seminar conducted by the same group of people you and I often talk about outside this thread. After you posted computer printouts, I sent them to the instructor who taught this seminar to see what he thinks. I have not heard back. To be fair to them, the calculation error there is on my part because the agencies that teach this do this between 60 - 100 feet. As you can see from the max depth of 130, we are playing way outside their suggested territory.
Again, in the immortal words of Winnie-the-Pooh: Both, please. What I'd really prefer would be a machine with all the bells and whistles you can get, but with pilots who are proficient enough to fly the plane even if those gizmos died.
