I have 2 VR3's, one is version 3.03aC, the other (newer one) is 5.03aC. On a number of dives now I have found that the version 5 adds about another 5 minutes of deco. I've checked all the settings, both 'pooters are the same, I wear them on the same arm, both run the same setpoints (1.25), same gasses etc. The newer one is running the Bhulmann algorithm, not VBM.

I've also found if I change the setpoint on the version 5 from 1.25 to 1.35, the older VR3 still gets me out of the water quicker . .

Does anyone know why this is?

Oooops, should haved posted this in the computer forum . . DOH!!
