Variation in NDL values: Comparing different dive tables and dive computers

[Quero]

I just wanted to say this has been a really good thread and I appreciate all of you folks who have posted. That table is really interesting to look at. I think it would be a good idea if SB could post it as a sticky maybe.

The table doesn't belong to SB, so we can't stick it, and besides it's outdated. If we collaborate on a new one with more current information, we might be making a contribution to the forum, though. I'm willing to make the chart, but need more input from other users with different computers.

It would be if it was accurate.

I started a google spreadsheet to compare the various algorithms. So far, it includes the following:

* iScubaPlan Lite (iPhone planner)
* Suunto - provided by Quero (don't know the exact type)
* Uwatec - provided by Quero
* Galileo - provided by Puffer Fish
* Nitek - provided by Puffer Fish
* USN & NOAA tables
* PADI table
* SSI table
* NAUI table
* DCIEM table
* Buhlmann
* Oceanic (previous spreadsheet confirmed correct by Puffer Fish)
* Uwatec Smart Pro - provided by Lowviz
* VR3 (BUH) - Provided by Lowviz

Feel free to add your own results.

Thanks, Lemna!
Is there a reason you didn't include the tables? They are accurately reported in the original table, as far as I've been able to deterimine.

I added the old (pre-RDP) PADI tables (from this post by ZKY). Apparently they are based on the USN tables, but they stop at 140 ft instead of 190.

All additions are welcome!
