I propose it's reasonable to assume that factors hadn't been isolated in such a sample.
To a man, as no woman was bent, they all admitted to making miscalculations which resulted in them being bent. All of them felt that we shouldn't hold Ratio Deco liable as this was 'their' fault. The human factor is the weak link here. Deny it all you want, but while PDCs fail every so often, the human brain fails multiple times a day. It's great at nuance but sucks for data integrity and retrieval. Task loading and depth aggravate this to the point that it's my belief that friends don't let friends dive Ratio Deco. I'm certainly not going to. There is simply no real tangible benefit to be derived from it.

Hi Pete,

How many are we talking exactly and what agency trained them to use ratio deco? To what level were they trained and what were the profiles?

6 instances with 5 divers. I can't comment any further than what I have.

Listen, if you feel comfortable with Ratio Deco, go for it.

I certainly am not and I don't mind expressing my opinion that friends don't let friends dive Ratio Deco.

Utd? Gue? T1 dives? T2?
They’re COMPLETELY different in the schedules they generate. Which one do you think is dangerous? Both?

Seems like you’re clinging to an opinion based on highly suspect anecdotes.
 
A lot of this thread is debating RD vs RD2.0, as a consequence of the Spinsi study.

I have plotted out the stresses during the dive, and you will be surprised to learn, RD has less stress than its GF 30/80 counterpart.

Further I have presented a possible solution to the un-answered question in the Spinsi test - what is the cause of the elevated bio-markers?

Yeah... you actually put time into that. Can you cite a corroborating study that reached the same conclusions or do readers need to assume that because you said it that it's true?
