Is anyone interested in maintaining a thread/sticky (if mod agrees) on what software is available, who from and what users think of it??
Starter for 10:
Suunto Dive Manager v2.1.5
As a dive log program - its fine. The printing options are crippled (useless)tho.
As a dive planner its aweful .. interface is very hard to use, you have to plot the dive curve first - almost impossible to do!
Dive Assistant
from
www.blackwave.com
Available for PC & Pocket PC
looks promising, fairly costly tho - $45 for PC, $30 for PPC
It is (IMHO) in beta stage, there are loads of planning options on the "to-do" list. There is a 'Nitrox' wizard - but not working yet. Should be good when they finish it.

flashy log program. Planning - not that I could find!
So - I guess I have not found any 'easy' dive planning so far that would mirror the PADI tables on air or nitrox (but they stricktly keep hold of copyright, so thier tables can't be used except by PADI!)
I have not looked at deco software (no idea about deco - so staying away from it!)
please feel free to edit/add
