I am not sure about GAP, but I heard RGBM was either in it or about to be in it...
I don't have it here, or the program, so from memory:
using VPM-B
150fsw
25 min
22/45 with 50% deco
rmv depth 0.7
rmv deco 0.4
ascent speed 200-100 15fpm; 100-0 10fpm
conservationism: +2 (I think)
all values for deco ppO2 set to 1.62
stop times set to 3
Can't think of anything else relevant
This is what I got.....

Did you force the 70ft stop anywhere Mike? And are you using the VPM-B as we didn't get the 60 or 50 ft stops either.

hmm...
Not sure what you mean by VPM-B
I looked and I am running version 2.0 so there may have been a revission?
I didn't force the 70 ft stop but I did have it set for a minimum stop time of 3 at a gas switch.
Looks like you have an older version Mike. The new one has VPM-B added, which is somewhat more conservative. I think it moves some of the deeper deco time to shallower stops. Hmm, maybe I should find my older copy and rerun that profile.
Thanks much for the help Mike.

I think I know why you're losing the stop. In the config there's a checkbox for "O2 window affect". What this does is remove un-needed stops from the profile. Looking at the profile you have, its not very aggressive so I bet it doesn't really need a 70 foot stop. Do you have this turned on?
If so, try this: Be sure you have "extended stops" checked, set a minimum gas switch time (I use 5 min) then turn OFF (uncheck) "O2 window affect" and re-calc the dive. Let me know if that works.
Don't get an older version, VPM-B is supposed to be safer. I've dived it fairly hard with no problems.

I think its still in the future, if at all. The one that has it is Abyss which costs $300.

If you have a PDA, and are cheap, try J-Plan. Its free and it works.
