    Software AP, and closed source software generation table. If you are a diver free, advanced or technical diver, GAP-software has been the dismantling of the program for you. Models also RGBM, Buhlman M11F6 slope factors are available. The platforms are Pocket PC or Windows or.

    I use either Deco-planner or DecoChek. Both are easy to use. I use Deco-Planner running GF 35/85 when diving with others as most of my dive buddies use it with the same GF's. I use DecoChek for solo or CCR dives.

    GAP-Software, the source for decompression & table generation application. In case you are a recreational diver or an advanced technical diver, GAP-software has the the decompression application for you.

    Recreational divers should not be using any decompression application. If they are, then they are no longer recreational divers. SO considering I am a recreational diver, what software do you have for me?

    Oh, I suppose some like to blur the lines between rec and tek, it can be a semantical thing......I think GAP and the likes are more for divers who want to follow some plan they create on land as part of dive planning. I think that makes it tek but perhaps some just like to fritter away with tables and software.

    I agree, but I am pretty sure that no recreational dive certification allows decompression diving.

    If I was diving typical rec dives, I would use plain dive tables as backup to my computer.
    As more than half of my dives involve deco stops, I cut custom dive tables using V-Planner.
    I chose to use the opt for the VPM B/E algorithm, even if it will not change anything from a more standard VPM B plan except for very aggressive plans.

    I normally use a conservative factor of +3 for routine dives and when diving repeat deco profiles of multiple days, shoulder niggles made it clear that I should rise that to +4.

    Why V-Planner? Because it works for me. Because it gives out nice regular and gradual stops that start much deeper than Bühlmann profiles on significant deco profiles.

    The V-Planner software is easy to use and configure.
    I can copy paste my tables to Excel to format them as I wish. A laser print out covered with packaging tape will make these tables water resistant and reusable.

    Also using an X1 computer which also runs on V-Planner, my computer and back-up tables originate from the same software.

    By the way here's a short clip from my last Florida cave trip.
