Will's implementation of the last stop depth is not quite what you would expect. Unlike other programs, ZPlan seems to rearrange all of the other stops instead of just the last one. If you set the Voyager last stop depth to 15 feet, you would get stops like this: 40 feet, 30, 20, and finally 15. Do the same thing with ZPlan and you get stops like these: 45, 35, 25, 15 feet. So not only is your last stop deeper, but all of your stops (45 minutes worth, including deep stops) are 10 feet deeper with a last stop depth of 6m instead of 3m. That could easily add 15 minutes onto your total time. The Buhlmann model is optimized by going as shallow as possible as quickly as possible. -bruce -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
