Vote: Dive Computer "Conservative" Setting?

[waterpirate]

When I began diving vplanner it was explained to me this way. vpm at 0 coservative factor was = to navy diver, 21 years old with on board chamber, 1 dive only per day, bend then mend. That being said I have been diving plus 3 due to age and it works for me. Like others have said I let the organic computer adjust the incoming data depending on conditions at site and in self.

I use V planner live on nominal conservation for all recreational dives. Plus 2 conservation for deco dives to 55mt. Plus 4 for 55mt - 90mt trimix dives.

I think any suggestion that VPM-B is so aggressive, that only a super fit 21 year old sailor, doing 1 dive a day with access to a chamber should use it at nominal conservation, for recreational dives, is ludicrous.

Dive it in the normal mode so its showing you a MAXIMUM time you can stay (or if its in deco a MINIMUM out of the water time) then pad it manually.


...unless its a VR3 or something

. I would like to see if I can get my predator to closely match my Helo2's settings. I plan to use the Predator as the primary & the Helo2 as the back- up computer.

you want to fit RGBM with deepstops close to Buhlmann......
try GF for your predator to 15/85
However i dont think that there would be a good fit.
Better, make a diveplan with GAP or similar Buhlmann program and use the predator as backup.

Use my Galileo Sol + 2 always due to the fact of my age and numbers of dives.
Most important...it feels good to me.

I actually reduce the conservancy of my HelO2 to match that of my buddy's Oceanic PDCs. With hundreds of dives at this setting, I have yet to experience any DCS symptoms, including sub-clinical symptoms. Of course, doing a two minute deep stop and a full five minutes for my shallow stop helps tremendously. Gas allowing, I almost always exceed any deco obligation by 2-3 minutes.

PS: I modified the poll to reflect that decision.

Your assumption that I was reffering to a recreational profile is based on what? It is common knowledge that I am the most untrained dangerous diver on SB based on my profile?

I don't have a computer yet, but I have decided on one, and it will be a more conservative model.

Models produce NDL's or deco schedules. You don't mention anything about deco, & the question is asking about model limits, hence, I assumed you are referring to recreational dives.
