Question Alternative to BSAC tables
Not quite sure of the right forum to post this so i'll try here.

What generally are the most used tables (or recommended anyway) for normal(ish) diving such as no-stop to maybe 20 mins or so of deco.

Currently carrying BSAC 88s as a backup but reading around these dont seem to be exactly recommended by most people especially for multiple dives and multiple days diving so im looking for alternatives.
In addition to this finding out EAD for nitrox is not supposed to be allowed with them (according to the creator) im looking for something i can use with that too.

I dont really want software to cut custom tables for custom dives, im after something similar to the bsac format with the no stop times and deco times for particular length/depth dives to laminte and keep in a pocket and so on.

Ive seen new navy dopplers, variations on Buhlmann and loads others.

Any suggestions what to use (and importantly where i can get them?)

There are BSAC tables (in '88 format) for 27%, 32% & 36%... have you seen these?

I've been thinking about the same thing, but haven't really found anything similar. The best thing I could think to do was make some Buhlmann tables using softwate (I downloaded the free trial of GAP) for a range of gases and depths and just carry the relevant ones for the dive.

NAUI and IANTD are available in slate format. Beuchat also do some (I think they are USN).

I would have thought you were spoilt for choice...

I use my BSAC 88's for teaching and thats it.

I use my computer for all my diving and deco, and carry a set of pure Buhlmanns as backup if my computer dies. However I'm thinking of getting the IANTD tables for air and 50% and 75% nitrox deco for backup.
