V planner can any one tell me about it?
Hi,

I have herd bits and peices about the V planner but would any of you guys be able to give me a quick over view? I would be using it for dives on air or nitrox.

Also where can I get the software from and is it sharewear or do you have to purchase it?

Many thanks

Rustferret

I believe you can download the free version & it will work for air & maybe for nitrox ,definitely won't work for anything less than 21% O2 ,ie trimix without buying the license .
Here you go :-

V-Planner VPM & VPM-B dive decompression software

V-Planner is a great dive planner, as far as I can remember you get a nag screen if you don't regester, it costs about 30quid, but worth it, I use it both on pc and my phone.
There are other bits of freeware dive planners, but you do get what you pay for.

Vplanner offers VPM type deco profiles. Do some reading before you use them. I don't know you so I could be offering advice to someone with far greater knowledge than I have, but on the off chance your not up on VPM Id strongly suggest starting off at level 4 safety on VPM or level 2 on the VPMBE setting

the E is for extended shallow stops.

For reasons which I haven't managed to fathom the "standard" setting for VPM is level 2. I found the straight VPM profiles on level 2 a little edgy for my taste. Lots of people use it but they arnt doing my sort of run times (120-180mins) so they haven't pushed it.

Level 2 or even level 0 may be fine for you but I just recommend a little caution to start off with and work from there.
