You cannot edit the algorithm or profile of the deco to suit your particular
02 exposure abilities and ability to deco. Some can off-gas better than
others, some have different tolerances to PP02's. Anybody who has done any
deco diving had figured this one out.

Apparently all you can do with the IANTD VS-3 is to order the "less
conservative" one. With a computer program like Decoplanner you can adjust
the entire gradient to suit your capabilities.

I suppose you can do what all the Uwatec Alladin users do, leave the thing
clipped to the hangline to deco out when your tables tell you it's OK get on
the boat. It's bad enough spending $600 on a computer to clip off on a hang
line much less a $1900 one.
