Maximizing depth AND time under

[ianr33]

US Navy tables (i'm not familiar with)
120 fsw 25 min deco stop 8 min total ascent time 12 min, so, around 37 min

Suunto Dive Planner 1.0.0.3 (include in SDM 3.1)
120 fsw 25 min, total dive 51 min

V-Planner
120 fsw 25 min, total dive 62 min

is V-Planner accurate for doing Air Deco ?

I suppose it depends what you mean by accurate,but as far as I'm concerned the answer is "yes"

The time you quoted is for conservatism +5.
I normally use +2. That gives a run time of 45 minutes.

V-Planner 120 fsw 25 min, total dive 62 min

Your numbers are wrong. If you want make direct comparisons, then set the conservatism to 0 in V-Planner.

That will make the V-Planner time of 52 mins - about the same as all the rest.


V-Planner is perfectly good for Air and nitrox calculations.
