Vr3 VPM-B would you bother?

Hi Guys,

Have been thinking about getting another VR3 and the VPM algo. so started trolling the archives.

Does anybody know if Delta P have addrressed the planning vs rubtime issue ?? or are the runtimes on VPM way longer than Bulhman ago in the"original" model.

I have considered the explorer but just to many bad reports about it - I certainly dont want to send it back a dozen times before it works properly.

Regards,

Hello,

I have the VPM VR3.

I echo the comments about the colour screen. Fantastic.

With regard to the conservatism of the deco profile... well yes, I agree that what happens in the water is often a little more conservative than what is indicated in planning mode (which, in turn, gives plans similar to those derived from V Planner). But my answer to that, to be honest, is I don't give a toss. I've treated many seriously sick divers who wished they had made their deco a little more conservative, and this provides me with some serious motivation not to challenge one of my colleagues with same problem.

I like this device very much, and feel that my decompressions are a very reasonable compromise between utility and safety.
