Subject: Re: WKPP deep stops
Jozef, your English is better than 99% of US cave and tech instructors.
GUE has seom kind of program, but you will have to ask them about it. I
have no deco programs that I currently have installed on any of my
computers. 

If my dive does not meet my planned time, then that is not much of a
problem for figuing the deco, it is more of a problem for the support
crew. If it does not meet the depth becuase it is to shallow, that is
also not a problem. It is not a problem if it is too deep, since we
abort if the depth exceeds that gas, which actually happeend to Jess
Armentrout and me in Mexico recently.We were mixed for 320, and my guage
locked out at 328, Jess's showed 350, so we called it.

The shape of the deco is always the same, the magnitude varies with
time. Once you see enough of these, you have no problem figuring out
what to do. I actually stopped carrying tables back when Bill Gavin was
still diving with me, and I have not calculated one in two or three
years, other than in the water after I see what the bottom time and
profile hgave been.

If I were to buy one, I would get Jarrod's program, since he actaully
does real dives an knows what he is doing. The others are curiosities on
cold winter days in New England, but I can not say that any of them
actually work because I do not konw what is in them currently. I do
remember that some of them are fun to play with, but I now have fogotten
why.
