VR3 Bail Out Dive Planning

Craig69 · 26th January 2007, 11:49

This may be a daft question becuase I'm missing something obvious but...

I can generate back up run time slates using my VR3 for CCR dives without issue but I can't generate the run time slates for bailing out at depth. I would like to be able to carry a run time slate for both scenarios i.e. CCR all the way and worst case senario.

Is there a way to do this off the VR3 or do I need to plan the worst case using something else like JDECO, V-planner etc. I would like to be able to do everything on the VR3 to minimise the number of electrics I'm carrying on the boat.

Thanks,

Only way i can think of is to calculate what gas will be in the loop at depth, then program this as an OC gas and try planning with VR3 in OC mode.
