Listen to the deco lectures that Tukker put on line from the classes I
talked to for his GUE courses. There is only one source of real ,
comprehensive deco information right now - the WKPP. Nobody else has the
database from real dives.

Hi George,
I was under the impression that the computer programs were to make up a
plan for a dive, then you take a copy of it in some form with you on the
dive. As for the dive computers, I had an incident happen to me with one
that made me realize how reliant I was on it. Since that dive I have been
using a bottom timer (not bottom planner, typo.) Any way, I see now that
using the tables and applying what you have already talked about is the key
to successful diving. Right now, I think I am having trouble grasping the
concepts because of too many sources of varying information.
I did take the DIR-F course already and have learned quite a bit. We just
barely touched on deco stuff and breathing mixtures. I had already started
using the bottom timer before the class. I plan to go with GUE's teaching's
because I have "seen the light." I will take the Tech 1 when I can afford
to.
Right now I feel like I have enough information to be dangerous to myself,
but not enough to be safe, safe being the goal. I am not ready for deco
diving but am trying to prepare myself for that to come soon as a normal
dive profile. If it takes buying that software to teach myself along with
other sources, then I am willing to do so. I am planning to join Quest
online this week to.
Thanks,
D Burnworth

David, the only benefit of deco programs is so you can dive on your
computer at home and learn from it. Then you have to apply the rules I
talked about, and then you have to use the logic . You will never need a
written table or an in-water computer. I have neither for any dive I do, and
now don't even look at the home computer to figure out a dive.
GUE teaches people to do that, I thought you took a GUE course?
What is a bottom planner? Is that like a topo map?

Subject: Decoplanner for recreational
Hi everyone,
I have given up the use of a dive computer and have reverted to a
bottom planner. 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
