501ft Stops
I am getting a lot of comments about this - As mentioned earlier in http://www.rebreatherworld.com/gener...tml#post181971, the stops are being worked on.

Descent - Timing
I got some really good feedback via PM (since the person PM'd me, maybe they'll post the info here too) that noticed I calculated the descent separately from the BT. If your waypoint showed 10 minutes, I gave a descent of 1 ATM/min, then did the full 10 min on the bottom. Their point was that typical planning would be 10 min starting from the surface (descent and all).

I wonder how many people would prefer this as an option instead of only allowing one way or the other?

An option would be great. I actually don't like it when you want 10 minutes "at depth" and you get something less because of descent times - then you have to fudge the bottom time to get what you wanted. Having a checkbox or button to switch would be very nice.
