You're never going to have the same result between the tables and your computer?!?! If you used that confounded "wheel" you might get close, but the tables are all based on your deepest depth, and dive duration from a square dive profile! (even if you hit 50 feet for a SECOND and the rest of your dive is at 30 feet, you have to use 50 ft!)
I stopped playing with the tables once I realized that if I used the tables (properly) on some of the dives I've done, I'd be "bent"! (as someone else said; on paper) I log my dives into my book, with the dive time, and deepest depth, and DON'T figure them out with tables because there's really no tangible reason! (unless you just like playing with the tables to keep in practice)
Using the two dives I did at Dutch Springs this past Monday as an example, my first dive would have been off the charts! Deepest depth was 104, and the duration was 47 minutes. Looking at my tables using the dreaded "square profile" (I was diving 32% NITROX) I would need to sit out the rest of the day, and hit the chamber as a precaution! BUT I did a second dive of 63 feet for 52 minutes. Using "average" depths it becomes more realistic because obviously I DIDN'T do the entire dive at 104! (which is one tiny area out past the trolley and car... and only that deep because of the recent rains) I think the average depth for the first dive ended up about 60 ft.
But when we learned the tables, it was a "square profile" and that was it! Had I followed the tables, my dive would have been over before we hit the back of the island and the Cessna!
I think tables are good to know as contingency, and as you get deeper into this sport, and potentially get into serious dive planning, tables become your friend (as does decompression software) but the computer is your friend! Use it as the tool it is and don't worry about the tables for your log book!
