There IS a gulf between Tec and Rec divers and there should be. Rec divers don't have to concern themselves with the additional info/detail/gear/etc required for Technical Diving. As well they shouldn't. A very small percentage move from Rec to Tec. For those who do, some find the rewards great and others wash out of the training.
It was kind of funny 2 weeks ago, driving to a place for dinner with 2 guys on a dive trip. One guy was my Tec team-mate and the other was a PADI DM. The two of us were going on about the details of our upcoming dive, deco, schedule, etc.. and the DM sort of sat there with a look like "where the hell did these guys learn so much of this extra stuff".
The point is the two dive styles are different. As for iDeco; leave it alone. As the name states, it's for decompression diving. A nice RDP will do the job perfectly for no-stop diving. Maybe someone can write an RDP for the iPhone. Just don't gunk up my beautiful iDeco with a bunch of useless (to Tec Divers) no-stop nonsense.
Just my opinion, thanks for listening!
