    Shearwater Cloud (iOS) bug -- minor [solved in 2.11 (with a very obscurely named toggle)]

    (Shearwater Cloud for iOS 2.11.3) I've been working on using SurfGF and GF99 more consciously, which includes noting in my log what I call "EndGF" -- the GF99 when I reach the surface. (As a possible proxy for decompression stress.*) The (minor) bug I'm seeing in the iOS version of Shearwater...

    Nitrox math problems?

    I've been staring at the RAID Nitrox course material for a while now, and I'm still stuck. Tell me if I've got it wrong, but: On p.22 of the 4-Jan-18 edition, it calculates a 40 minute ABT dive. In the analysis, it shows that the ppO2 0.9 exposure limit is 360 minutes, and then subtracts 90...

    Logging how far I pushed the nitrogen (now a Perdix AI; was a Oceanic DataTrans)

    Is the new "rate" display available in any of the info bars?

    (Ref. v81/v78 release notes, p5.) I see it can be configured into the main bars' configurable locations -- but is it in any of the right-button info-bars? Don't really want to use one of the only two (in OC rec) spots for it -- but might like to see it during certain phases.

    VHF for urgencies/emergencies?

    Had an odd thought recently, thought I'd surface it for comment. There are any number of good threads that discuss PLBs, AISes (e.g. Nautilus Lifeline), alternatives such as InReach, etc. https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/plbs-can-save-your-life.576134...
