Software?

[Teller]

I was told that many tech diver use deco software to cut there own tables and plan there dives. I was just curious if this was true and if so how does it work. Does it give you an option to choose your planned depth, back gas and deco gasses?

Decoplanner or V-Planner are the main 2 programs.

V-planner has a (limited) working trial. Its worth grabbing and playing with. You'll see first hand how it works then.

I don't think the trial version allows deco gases >40 or 50% O2.

No, it doesn't. You need to pay the registration fee to get the password for the fully functional version.

However, you can get a very good feel for the software by using it with recreational and non-accelerated deco dives.

If you really do need to trial it with high O2 deco mixes, then it's likely that you'd know a fellow tech diver who could demonstrate it for you. Lots of people use V-planner.
