Decompression algorithms for recreational diving

[Blasto]

Yes. Does it matter?

It's much more important that you follow your algorithm - which is where rec divers tend to struggle or fail outright - than knowing what exact algorithm it is.

I think the more you know about and understand your computer the better.

While I think this is a great poll because it will make people think, I can’t help but wonder how many incorrect yes votes you’ll receive. And, though I hope not, one of those could be mine.

i300 as a backup-PZ+

I don't think it is correct to say that PZ+ is Buhlmann ZHL-16C. I think it may be correct to say that PZ+ is BASED ON Buhlmann ZHL-16C, which is not the same statement at all.

However, as PZ+ is proprietary, there is probably nobody here who can say definitively either way. It's a black box with a sticker on the outside that says "PZ+".

@stuartv, you’re correct, I should have said based on.

After years of being on charters, and seeing it on 1 out of every 3, you should start a new poll.

I've told this story before. I've been asked several times by divers why their computer does not seem to be working correctly. When I tell them that it is in violation gauge mode, they look at me like I'm an alien. The truth is out there

Bhulman 45/95. I run on low conservative setting

A general PZ+ question if anyone knows. Are all Z+ the same? (or is there capacity for the manufacturer or programmers to adjust it further)?
And can I confirm PZ+ = Z+?
