In my opinion its a very good safety tool. If it all turns pear shape and you end up having to change dils or go OC or go semiclosed in part or all the dive or deco, or in anyway have to unexpectedly switch gasses, its a real safety advantage to have the VR3 (with the push of a button) to recalculate your deco in real time.

I am happy to follow mine if doing multilevel wreck dives. I do a very slow ascent to first indicated deep stop but otherwise follow. I have had no issues doing 4 dives a day for 5 days straight with 45min BT with the VR3 on the Prince of Wales and Repulse and have yet to be beaten up by any DIR divers

If doing a fixed single level dive I follow VPMB with the VR3 as a backup.

I like my VR3 - Id like it more if it had VPMB on board (but that will not be anytime soon according to latest info from DeltaP
