Do any Tec-Rec (or light deco) divers use GTR?

My understanding is that Tec divers do not use GTR at all.

Do any Tec-Rec divers use GTR?

Reason for Q; I am trying to fathom why there's a reasonable proportion of votes against a Rec orientated poll I established about including stops in GTR (only when one gas is active) and am a bit lost as to why, so am diving into it to eliminate the possibility I've overlooked something. link: Poll: GTR to include stops when one gas is active/on for Shearwater’s AI Teric & Perdix computers?

I don’t rely on it but I do use it to confirm that I’m what my spg is telling me correlates to my dive plan. Nice to have but too many variables to rely on it as the only measure.

What the eff is "GTR"?

Gas time remaining?? Just a guess.

Uhhh, what he said... GTR ?

How many threads are you going to start regarding this? I think this is the third one.

How about this as a counter; rather than an antagonistic back and forth between us, if you could answer the question in this OP, and/or articulate why in the other Poll thread why you voted no?

I'm much more interested in that substance.

I voted No in the poll. I think you're trying to overcomplicate the concept of GTR for a small increase in utility. Safety stops don't use enough gas to worry about, unless you begin one with a near empty tank, in addition to the fact that they're optional for recreational dives. In any event, I don't see that it merits three separate threads.

I've been wondering what the hell gtr is too but thought I'd be the idiot if I ask. Will someone explain what gtr is.
