I hit my NDL on my uwatec Smartcom last week while my buddy still had several minutes left .(110 ft on the grove). I burned off its requirement for a 1 min deco stop during our slow assent to our safety stop.
I had not realized what a difference the microbubble level setting has.
My concern is that even at setting 0, the NDL's are still several minutes shorter than the PADI tables. in some cases as much as 6 minutes. This is true for air as well as 32% & 36% nitrox.
My question is : Is this normal for this computer?
I don't mind conservative formulas, but I would like to know its intentional, not a defect.
