V-plan or GUE deco plan or ...

[Rod Abbotson]

So you swapped from 14/33 to Air.

Exactly and at 66m. I took about 1 min 30 seconds for the narcosis to set in, interesting learning curve! Wasn't a problem at the time but now either use a triox mix or switch at 40 to EANx32 (or Tmx32/10) depending on the plan and how it comes out!

QED.

I use 21/35 as a deep deco gas although the dive I was planning above had no obvious place to stop at this depth and no need to stay there for any time so 30/30 came in as a 36 metre bottle.

buy a couple of VR3's or use decocek

My standard deco planning software is deco planner. I'll check the results in v planner too. I dive neither profile but shape the results according to my training.

Hello Clare,

I ended up getting GUE Decoplanner. I will also get V-planner at a later date.

You mention that you shape the results to your training. Why is there a difference between GUE Decoplanner and your GUE training?

The only thing I change is adding extra minutes at the gas switches and also to extend the 21msw stop to take advantage of the O2 window, an extra 3-4 minutes.

Is there something else that I should know or add/subtract from GUE Decoplanner?

Thanks
MFF.

GUE training points you in the direction of understanding what deco you need to do by giving you a set of base guidelines, and then off you go and work out what works best for you by tweaking the deco curve over many dives.

GUE's decoplanner you in the direction of understanding what deco you need to do by giving you a set of base guidelines in the form of 30/85 gradient factors, and then off you go and work out what works best for you by tweaking the settings over many dives.

Neither come with "do this and nothing else settings". Neither come with a "this works for everyone" setting.

Seems pretty similar to me.
