Oooooooh yes

I have a multiple arm slate with dive, dive plus 5mins, dive minus 5, bail out on 20mins and total cluster f*uck 50min profile in which I run out of back gas and deco gas and have to send for the drop tank    On top of that I carry pre set IANTD tables for air diving with 75% deco gas out down to 60m.

I am also constantly comparing the figures churned out by the VR3 with my tables. So If the VR3 said do a 3min safety stop at 6m after 40mins at 65m I would notice (I hope) the error.

Earley days for the VR3 and me but i can say that I added at least 10mins to all the VR3 deco profiles with the computer set to minimum safety. I personaly prefer to know the minimum recommended out of the water time and then to add my own safety margen rather than have to bend the computer in a semi emergancy. ie feeling sick and needing to get out ASAP.

So that said the VR3 and plus 10 on this sort of dive worked OK for me and I felt good after the dives.
