I ran the same profile on Decom 6.61 (Buhlmann ZH-L16), except using Imperial scale (like it matters) 100 ft for 60 minutes on air as bottom and deco 100 for 60 30 for 9 20 for 19 10 for 34 total deco time 62 minutes I also switched to Buhlmann ZH-L12 and tried it again, same total run time except it started deco at 40 ft for 1 minute. Didn't change anything in the settings for either profile (N2 5.0, He 14.0).

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?
