its one thing having a computer, another being able to read it
I use two VR3's as you know, but always run it through Vplanner just to see what kind of stops I'm likely to be doing and what kind of RT to expect
if I loose my buddy, and both VR3's fail then I'm having a bad day, and will just do as much deco as I can on the gases I've got
3 divers did a similar thing on the Elk out of Plymouth last year (or the year before?) IIRC, 35m down for 30mins+ and didn't have enough gas for deco (backgas cylinders only divers)
