Please just keep in mind all of this is just discussing about what
Buhlmann/GF algorithms will require. If you are using VPM/RGBM, I have no
idea what the profile will look like until later on this year when I will
add Eric Baker's VPM algorithm to DecoWeenie.

>> I thought both were set for 30'/min...

Sorry, I was nitpicking, but the ascent rate with Zplan was just a tad
slower.

>> I would expect the normal dive plan to include deep stops.

Agree, but I would rather use GF (plus max-O2 window option if on OC)
instead of Pyle stops. The RT is only a few minutes longer, but if for
whatever reasons you have to shorten/bail the shallow stops (as what
actually happened), the chance of survival is greater IMHO.

>> I keep coming up with numbers somewhat longer than yours, could you post
your results?

I don't use Zplan, but DecoWeenie. The results also were confirmed with GAP.
Here is just an example...

CCR mode, 8/60 diluent, 1.2 set-point, GF 20-100, 30fpm ascent rate...

0 - 300	15 RT
300		20
150	1	26
140	1	27
130	1	29
120	1	30
110	1	31
100	1	33
90	1	34
80	1	35
70	1	37
60	1	38
50	1	39
40	2	42
30	3	45
20	18	63

Depending on what you believe, a change of diluent to air and flush out the
loop to remove all Helium at 70ft will give a shorter RT to 59 as according
to Buhlmann algorithm, as well as running 1.6 (100% O2) at 20ft to give RT
to 57.

Straight Buhlmann with all options above yields 52min RT to surface. Then,
of course, you always the option to run GF high at 100+ as well to shave it
more... :-)
