I've heard of quite a few folks getting bent on V Planner on deep dives and I've been tired on it myself despite extending my shallow water deco and racking up my setpoint.  On a 15 min bottom time to 102 metres on Tuesday I used V Plan and when the tables told me to get out, the VR3 said I had missed 38 minutes of stops!!   Why is V Planner so quick, even with high gradient conservatism???  Is anyone using V Plan and then Z Plan for the shallow stops?  It seems that the shallow deco in V Plan needs to be at least doubled.  I plan to do a load of dives in the 100m+ region now while building up my bottom time to build up for a deep cave diving trip later in the year - but I need to get a feel for some better software - I don't want to fully commit to the VR3 yet as I have some doubts about the deep stops it generates.  Can anyone help?
