Nope. Got it sorted, and now any plan I'd be running down to 100 is covered. Max dive times around 3 hours, but anything up to that pretty much works. There is some padding in there, but then I don't expect any other gear to fail once the VR3 has gone.

Diggs I use DOTf and OMG I am going to die coz my two computers have failed. But to contemplate useing it past 70m on a CCR I think your kidding your self.

You plan a dive anything bigger than a bounce to 70m+ and you will have the deco scheduals writen down or memorised for VPM decoplanner or what ever it is you use. And you still will lose sleep the night before.

80,90,100m is a f'ing massive dive for you and me and if i get to the stage where i think its a "f'it Ill figure it out on the day" dive then i hope and pray i have the sense to quit diving.

No disrespect M8, your as good if not better diver than me, I just think your bull shiting a tad on the heavy side with this one.

Nope, I'll show you if you like. The limit is 3 hours. So on a 100m dive I reckon maximum dive time of around 8 minutes, and that's cutting it pretty fine. That's the limit, not really the depth. I suppose in theory it works for a bounce dive down to 110m, but I would have a plan in my pocket in all honesty. But there's nothing wrong with doign the DOTF for mid-range diving.

30-70m i am happy with DOTF & CCR. 70+ I back up my two computers with tables and a depth and bottom timer.

My minimum bottom time for any dive is usualy 30mins. Ill grant 15 - 20mins at 90-100m but anything less than that is a bounce.

OK, so my limit of 100m or 3 hours stands. And you'd do roughly the same on DOTF. Obviously planning more than 3 hours or deeper than 100m I do a bit more planning. IN reality deeper than 70m I've got the planner out just to check.
