To dive or not to dive - that's not even an option.

Thumbs up Vytec for deep deco dives

Hi Pierre

Mark Chase has given some "real life" details on the Vytec he uses, I have never heard of it blanking the screen as it goes out of range of it's calculations, but since I don't dive that deep, and certainly not for that long, I honestly can't comment, I will have a play with it's planner though?

I did however check the manual and it does do deep stops on RGBM 100. I ran the simulator on the software you can get from Suunto based on the Vytec model and it gave me the following graph of the dive you said you did. If you look at the top right figures that say "ceiling" it has 21.2 meters on it, this would be the shallowest first stop. As I, and Mark, pointed out though, it is weighted for shallow stops and it is likely that a slow ascent will clear this and go to the next one.

Watch yours like a hawk and let us know what happens, I would be very interested in this and think it gives merit to the thread.

Regards

James

Sorry, almost forgot.

On my simulation you ran out of air and died using the 18L tank I know you love, please take a bigger one.
