| Hello Mark,
Good write up! I also think that doing accelerated deco, one has to know what is going on in your body and how to efficcently offgas. Also I think that a gas diver first have to do dives with deco tabels, to learn how to cope with run times, deco gas planning and what a profile should look like. Also backup tabels are always important, once during an extended range dive, during ascent I realise that my pencil deco shcedule is gone , earesed (now I apply selfadhesive tape to prevent this).
Also I dive with a buudy using a Vr3 and we both use tabels cut from proplanner cut 10%/10% but on ascent the Vr3 will sometimes skip the 15m stop, is this normal? If you decide to do the 1m stop as per runtime would you bend the Vr3? this thing is being a little of a problem as we have to do deco seperatly as sometime he has to stop deeper than me and I cannot wait for him due to my schedule!
I also use a Vytec of which I find it usefull, especially as a backup. Mark , did you say Vytec allows for deep stops?
On an other note, I always try to get out of the water in a reasonable time, and I explaine why. I want to know that I am not over staying and at least know what profile I dive. Then at the end of the time I can decide how much safety stop at 6m to add.
Regards
