"Really - if people are going to advise - please can it be people who have actually seen a VR3 and used one??!?!"
Neither I nor anyone else needs to have used, seen or become romantically invloved with any diving computer - let alone a VR3 - to know that you're doing something wrong if as you state:
Ammers said:
"I have bent the VR3 on nearly every deep dive...."
some skill that, eh Ammers. Notwithstanding:
Ammers said:
The VR3 sulks if you miss the stops it tells you.
so why miss them?? Doh?? You then make a foray in with:

Really I was hoping for someone who was a bit clued up to answer this one - not a load of responses assuming I am bent because of dramatic differences in algorithms!!
You're more than a little aware, Ammers, that most of the folk on here (whilst wishing you well in all your diving endeavours) gave up listening to your wholesale bravado and latest 'Grandstanding' and 'bleeding edge' diver exploits a long time ago. The attitude is, if we're being honest, 'Oh, Ammers, what's she done this time?'
Ammers said:
Bren - I can assume you have spoken to Andy Hayhurst as I did mention my dive to him and mention that I had a slight niggle in my knee.
Him along with most other divers you know 'publicising' [grandstanding] your latest self-promoting stunt.
Ammers said:
I've had that a few times when not diving and even at the gym! So to make an assumption that I'm bent is ridiculous.
If you came here with concerns about your knee after a vigorous gym workout, then we'd not be inclined to suspect DCI, would we? I'm not aware of a single recorded case of 'gym-related DCI'!
Ammers said:
I did call for advice just to be on the safe side and they told me that it was definitely not DCI. I suggest you speak to people directly instead of hearing half baked stories from others - chinese whispers eh?
This from someone who makes a practice of starting those same 'myths & legends' herself....about herself!? LOL. More front than Woolworth's window.

This coming from people who aren't even box divers - I ask you!
And this, (along with your hang-up about being "the only female doing these profiles.." yawn) is always your sad refrain when confronted by anyone questioning the sanity of your usual 'me-me-me' self-promotion! We don't need to be box divers to know a wannabe when we see one. Just coz others more capable and experienced than you aren't doing the profiles you chance with (usually because they know better, and it's got f*ck-all to with "pushing my personal boundaries...") doesn't make their comment any the less sage. The honest truth is that you simply don't want to hear it.
You come on here with grandstanding opuses, not caring about what answers people give as long as they are in praise of Ammers. We'd have thought you have learnt that we got bored of it long ago.
Ammers said:
Instead of 'KNOW YOUR LIMITS' - HOW ABOUT 'OPEN YOUR LIMITS'?? and 'REDEFINE YOUR LIMITS'?
Ignoring that regardless of seeking to push your limits (which is closer to the truth), you have to
a limit from which to start to 'open' or push.
Have you asked the same question on the Inspiration user forum?? The DIS-UK board or any of the myriad other technical forums you might have addressed?? Did you ask AP for their input?? And what did they have to say about your little sojourn? I would have thought they were eminently more qualified to answer your questions - after all, you can't be the 1st person to have attempted (on similar kit) what you allege to have done this week in Dotty - rather than a forum of plain-stated "I dive for fun and not to push every limit I've ever read about" divers, as in YD's case.
I seem to be the only person that you did not phone before the alleged Dotty dive, as you conducted your usual general ring-around to all and sundry with your 'Don't tell anyone else this, but....' Behave yourself.
If you're being honest with yourself and us Ammers, you knew damned well that you had very little chance of getting anything like the answers you sought from YD. What is, at this time, ostensibly, a recreational diver forum (albeit with a growing techy section) looks on and just shakes its collective head at your antics. You were Grandstanding again.
I'm prepared to be proved wrong, but all we have to go on is your word that you did 102 metres in Dotty. OK, then can I ask if you're a certified Inspiration user yet?? If so, the course - as I understand it - only certs you to 40 metres!!! So what in f*ck are you doing at 102 metres??!
Are you gonna stump the bill for the pot when they either drag you out unconscious from some mine-shaft or deep whole or, God forbid, have to send an ROV in to collect your mortal remains?? I doubt it, so why put other people to the trouble?! 'Selfish' and/or 'arrogant' ring any bells, Ammers??
Sort your life out and please don't place posts (your much and oft-stated love of 'verbal hand-grenades') which are designed - you wish - to make folk think you're some form of dive-goddess. You'll find that you just become a figure a fun - no matter how serious you might like to take yourself.
And please don't insult our intelligence any more by trying that tired old line "People take too much of what's on the internet far too seriously" before braking out into your usual cackle. I would like to think your life is a serious and not a laughing matter - I only wish you did.
Dive safe.
