Hi Percy,

Do these 'niggles' correspond with when you first started using your VR3?

Although I dive one myself, I'm not a fan on of the profile it gives - yes, it's conservative on the shallow stops but seems to ignore the mid range stops all together.

As a example on 20 conservatism, yesterday a dive to 42m for 40 mins bottom time using 1.2 set point on the bottom and assent, my VR3 gave my first stop at 24 meters, then 17 meters and then straight to 9m. I prefer to do the first stop as per my VR3 and then ascend at 3m/min between the VR3 stops. I also find that this reduces the shallow stop times so is in fact crediting me and taking into account the offgasing through out the assent.

Cheers

Rich
