I have no experience of proper tecnical diving (yet ;-) ) and i was wondering what is the method that current dive computers work with a pre-planned dive?
Ie, lets say you plan a dive on some suitable software (MultiDeco or similar) with times and depths. Is that plan (and deco model!) then able to be loaded into a dive computer to give you electronic profile guidance, or is it a matter of manually ensuring your depth/vs time profile matches your plan.
And what happens if your actual dive for any reasons doesn't match (it should as plan the dive, dive the plan is king). You dive computer is going to be calculating actual near-real-time tissue tensions ( how often do tec computers do this? the math is trivial for a modern processor) but that is going to potentially depart from your planned stops in a worst case?
I guess this is more a question on "good housekeeping" and clearly must be well covered in Tec diving training, but i was wondering on what the general approach was, and if everyone follows a similar method?
