All good fun, but don't dive an Excel table you made yourself, obviously.
I learn by hands on - the hardest part was converting the Naui and Navy tables into records that I could read with excel formulas.
The Naui table is 158,852 rows and the Navy table is 169,359 rows because I had to include all the SIT permutations of the letters...
I have used it to validate my plans for diving (double checking the tables for accuracy) - I do wear a PDC - but the exercise of doing it reenforced my understanding of the tables.
It is pure exercise in playing with SIT and Bottom Time to see the impacts on NDLs as well as incurring some Deco penalties.
