Ran the same profile on ZPlan 1.03 and the ANDI DivePlanner (Buhlmann ZH-L12), with the following results. Added no conservatism, got the following: ZPlan 1.03 1 min at 9m, 15 min at 6m, 30 min at 3m (46 min total) ANDI DivePlanner 1 min at 9m, 16 min at 6m, 36 min at 3m (53 min total) Interestingly, running the same profile on ZPlan with 10% conservatism (Will, I think this is about the level you recommended) gives: 2 min at 9m, 17 min at 6m, 35 min at 3m (54 min total) Has (can) anyone tried this on Voyager?
