Which diveplanner?

[DiveNav]

DiveNav's stuff looks promising as it is being rolled out. ........

Thanks

.... Not quite ready for prime time yet though.....

Yup ... but we are getting there
Major release planned for today

the (do you remember it?) the wheel.

OH YES I DO!!!!!

not going to give her mixed gas and/or EAN though.....

side note: Interestingly enough, DiveNav's "default" computer is pretty darn close to this WONDERFUL device. when i ran a multi-level dive that a recent poster had listed, I hit a "ML/NDL" exceedance (only by 1 minute), but still calculated out the rest of the dive. When it was run on the DiveNav simulator, it showed up in the exact same place....

Pretty Cool!

We are using (our own version of) Buhlmann ZH-L16C.

When my team gives me a version that allows to plan a series of more than 3 dives, I will publish comparison of our algo vs. the test run by the magazine few years ago

In case you like to program yourself, in Perl, here's a script using the NOB tables (based on the DCIEM tables):

It's still work in progress, though.
OTOH, it will do whatever you like, the way you like.

The comparison of our algorithm to several dive computers is here

For Buhlman algorythm, I use MV planner (also incorporated in JDivelog) mainly because it provides me with similar data that I get from my Shearwater Predator dive computer (NDL and deco obligation if doing Deco).

The dive computer I use for rec diving is a Suunto Vyper. Therefore, I use the Duunto Dive manager which also incorporates a Dive planner.

My recommendation would be to use a software that will match the data of your dive computer

perfect

I have no experience using any of the programs but was interested in experimenting with them to simulate dives and thereby expand my theoretical knowledge.

I was shocked to see that GUE wants $149 for DecoPlanner 3.14!

It is, however, available via less reputable means

Here's a list & links for various purchase and shareware/freeware deco software...

thanks

free deco software, do you really want to trust your life to a free download? I paid for GAP, it was worth it and so am I.
