Re: VR3 BUH or VPM

Hi

Very interresting topic. Good info from all the parties
I am an IANTD sport instructor, and what is written on the V-planner website was quite interresting and has some relation to Dr Mike's comments regarding accuracy..
HSS Software website:

"2003
February: V-Planner with VPM-B released at the NAUI Deep Stop conference.
IANTD includes VPM-B tables into all new training courses.
........"

Here is an extract from the IANTD.com website, regarding the use of deco tables:
"...Currently, all IANTD courses use the Bühlmann ZH-L16 model for determining decompression obligation. These Bühlmann-based tables are among the most widely used dive tables in the world and the ZH-L16 system is used to calculate both staged and continuous decompression and is programmed into many of today’s dive computers..."

VPMB/x seems not to be the decompression table of choice as advertised or reported on the V-planner website.

Regards

Johan
