Not sure where to post this - which dive planner software do you use?

[Daylonious]

I'm looking for a good dive planner software program that can do multi-gas, deco dives, etc.

Which programs do you use? Pros / cons? Price? Ease of use?


Thanks!

VPlanner. A powerful program, with easy to use interface and reasonably priced.

GAP is i guess the most used as it has a free verion based on on the Bühlmann model.
You can download the older but free version from their site

(dont forget the patch)
Works well, i've been using it for a while. You can then get the newer v2.8.

V-Planner. Although I am not doing technical diving (unless you count basic Nitrox dives) I am using it to learn about mixed gas diving, and create tables for my recreational nitrox dives. I use M-Plan on my Palm. I've tried Gap, Abyss, HLPlanner, but like VPlanner best.

Good luck.

Deco Planner

I have used Vplanner and Zplanner and have them both around here somewhere.

Fellas, be careful with the old deco planners - The RGBM and VPM models tend to provide insufficient deco in the shallows, according to Mark Elyatt (Deepest dive on scuba - 313 meters in December 2003)

He's developed a deco check application, which will verify the deco schedules provided by V-planner, GAP etc.

Have a look at his website for more details: http://www.inspired-training.com/decochek.htm

Are you including the VPM-B and VPM-BE models of V-Planner in this or just the older versions?
