(Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, I just got the full thread sent to me today) You are absolutely right. I was completely wrong in saying that nobody has been bent on MiG Plan. We cannot have it both ways. It was (until recently it appears) true but irrelevent that nobody had gotten bent on tables generated by MiG Plan. > > Ohh one other thing, while discussing air/air diving, Jody mentioned; > > "In practice, I don't like to decompress that long, so instead I come up > > at 1500PSI or 30MINS of deco." > > I hope you realise that your software is being used for *much* bigger dives > > that that every weekend. 120 minutes of NTX and O2 enhanced deco is not > > that uncommon over here. 60 minutes of air/O2 deco after an air dive is > > a dead stock, standard, normal dive.
