Chris, I don't get it. Why don't you simply treat the deep stops as waypoints? Example: 30 min @ 130 ft on air Deco without deep stops: 4 min @ 30 ft 10 min @ 20 ft 35 min @ 10 ft So you backtrack and insert the deep stops at 80 ft and 55 ft. So, for all purposes, you consider the user's profile as 30 min @ 130 ft 2 min @ 80 ft 2 min @ 55 ft ...and recalculate the deco. What's the big deal? Just pretend the user inserted the deep stops. I mean, Abyss *can* handle multi-level diving, can't it? ;^) So the new deco will be different. Why shouldn't it be?
