Richard Pyle - how dare you be so rude. "Crap" is just an expression applying in this case to the seven-year old version of DECAP - the one that gives you ridiculous deompression times ( the one in the Cis Lunar ). Unlike your Boy, I pay Hamilton for his LATEST STUFF. Mine are not seven minutes old when I get them. YOU can call Bill Hamilton yourself and YOU tell him he needs to "grow up". He wrote my tables. Rich, I love you like a brother , but sometimes I think you are looney. We are scheduled to do the first "trial" dive in Bimini in a couple of weeks. If they like us, then we are on for the duration, at which point you need to drag your ass down here for the dives. By the way, anyone who "emulates" me knows the emulation has to be complete. Conditioning is everything ( assuming no preconditons). VO2 Max is the best single indicator of deco success in this case. Sorry for the confusion on this , Rich.
