Lots of good points in the above 2 posts.
I've done plenty of deco dives using an Aeris Atmos Pro (Oceanic/Pelagic computer )
Will use this for light deco dives,say, max 130 for 25 minutes. A profile such as that will probably only have a 10 foot ceiling indicated,but thats not what I do. Instead I'll come up to 70,slowly dawdle up to 30 feet over several minutes then up to 20 AND WAIT THERE UNTIL IT CLEARS DECO. After that will go to 10 and wait for it to get into the green before surfacing. This may well be more conservative than needed bit it works well on local dives where we are in no rush to get out of the water.
Have also noticed that if pushed too hard it can start suggesting garbage. e.g 2 hours deco when 30 minutes is more realistic. Getting that info as a recreational diver on a single tank would be interesting.
Disclaimer: I am deco trained and always have tables and backup bottom timer in case of computer failure or whatever.
