Rich,

<< 1) ascent pattern (slow initial ascent and deep safety stops) >>

That's interesting. The slow initial ascent seems to be completely at odds 
with the Buehlmann ZH-L8 ADT model used in the new generation of Uwatec 
(Aladin) computers which allows for a faster ascent from depth slowing as 
one reaches the surface - it varies from 20m per minute at depth to 7m per 
minute near the surface. Can you explain why you say the opposite? (or am I 
misunderstanding?).

Disclaimer: I am way out of my depth (sic) here and ask the question 
purely because I'm able to understand English not because I have 
anything other than a superficial understanding of DCI learned from my 
BSAC courses and Lippmann's 'Deeper into Diving'. I realise this is a 
technical subject but if you'd keep any replies as near plain English as 
possible I'd be grateful. 

General Note: Replies along the line of "only weanies, strokes (insert 
your own derogatory term) use computers" will do nothing to increase my 
understanding <s>.
