How does the table math work?

Reg, you keep injecting rational thought into what otherwise could become a fairly good brawl . . .

The DiveRite NitekHE does all the calculations for you, if you are planning to switch gasses.

So does the VR3.

You simply only need to input the gasses you are using correctly, and switch underwater appropropriately, and tell your computer what you have done, and then it gives you your next stop depth and stop time.

And V-Planner will have done the same in advance for the dive plan and gas planning. The V-Planner output also provides on-the-fly backups that you can memorize as well, or you can put it onto tech forearm-slates as a backup to your dive computer.

There is simply no need to do any calculations yourself in the 21st Century.

Unless you really want to, yourself, the hard way, either with a pencil and calculator or else with an M/S Excel spreadsheet.

Okay ... it might be possible with a lot of hard work to interpret the above differently but I read it as saying pretty much: 'Don't bother with learning deco theory, just plug numbers into your computer and follow them blindly.'

That said ... yes, there has been a lot of positive discussion and good posts by many different people. I was merely pointing out the one obvious exception in my first post.

I actually do love it, but not just for the entertainment value. If you pick through all the extra stuff, there are some interesting things to investigate, some roads to follow in your arm-chair cyber-diving career.

To me, it's like going to the library when you have a question that needs anwering. You get the name of a book to read. You go find it. You find you answer, but hey, that's an interesting chapter on something else! And what's this other book on the next shelf?? Way cool!

It may consist of his ordering everyone out of the water, NOW.

Good idea.
