Several friends of mine are using software to generate their own tables. These friends do dive a little more aggressively than I am trained to do right now as they sometimes dive with Trimix and I am unable to at this time. My question is, since I am basic Nitrox qualified, would I see any benefit of using software like Decoplanner over the standard tables that I have from NAUI? Air or Nitrox specifically. My friends have 1 minute decos planned into their tables for dives that would be generally considered no deco dives. I understand that stops in general are usually beneficial, but I would like to see them in table format and be able to copy them into wetnotes. In short, can a software program like DecoPlanner benefit the every day recreational diver that occasionally goes deeper than say 60 feet for example. Thank you, D Burnworth ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C1B458.1FF13DF0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4522.1800" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><SPAN class=3D685542811-13022002><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff = size=3D2>David,=20 the only benefit of deco programs is so you can dive on your computer at = home=20 and learn from it.
