Thanks for the input but please lets not make this a slinging match and try and keep it on the topic.

As evident by the number of replies it's obvious there are more than a few of us looking for the same answers.......This is a good place to try and work them out and a good time to do it!!!

I received a reply from Al Wright from Delta P (Hi AL) and he has just told me the same as Andy Del has just put up. He also tells me had I followed either computer then I would have ended up with very similar run times. Which makes me think you can run the VR3BUH and start your stops shallower or pay a heap of extra money and start your stops deeper. Combine the 2 and you will be calling Matt for a McDeco, Large Fries and a McSlurry

At this point I am not planning to part with any of my VR3s as I still think they are a great computer. If anything I am trying to work out what is the best way to use them for my diving.

At the moment I am thinking of using both computers as before but doing all the deep stops as per the VR3VPM and clearing the deco on it, then doing half the remaining deco on the VR3BUH.

Like someone once said, " After doing a long dive what's a few more minutes hanging there going to matter" I'd much prefer to be hanging at 6m reasonably comfortable than lying on the boat sucking O2 in pain!!

Regards,

Lance

I did exactly this prety much all the time i owned VR3s I went to the first deep stop then added stops inbetween the jumps.

It messed with the TTS but never enough to anoy me.

I was going to upgrade both my VR3s to VPM but as i say i wasent impressed.

However in the end I baught a Hammer Head with GF deco built in. Having experianced GF deco i knew its was the way for me so I baught the Shearwater.

VR3s a great computer but I prefer GF deco.
