I am currently using D-plan and I love it. The only problem with it is, that It does not calculate CNS%. Has someone written a program for the palm that will calculate the CNS% and nothing else? I do not want to buy another dive program.

I know calculating CNS is easy, but I would love the convience of having it done for me. I thought the GUE D-plan would have had an option for Turn Pressure, or as they say, Rock bottom. Now that I don't mind doing, but like I said, It would be nice to have.
Thanks

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but if you read the GUE tech manual and the support materials for D-plan you will gain some insight into why cns calculation isn't included.

I believe GUE teaches a little different twist in O2 management. Given that time isn't all that great as a predictor for the onset of cns symptoms they primarily rely on other methods.

Best to listen to Mike but if you do want some number try JPlan. JPlan is very similar to DPlan, only free :). By tinkering with the settings they should give the same figues ... but JPLan also has OTU and CNS.

I haven't heard of JPlan before. Who makes it and where can you get it?

I did a comparison with DPlan a while ago and the figures came out very similar. According to Tony, If I'd 'checked' alveolar ppH2O they'd have come out the the same.... for $60 less:)
