    I just try to keep safe in my diving, I use the tables that are used by commercial and navy divers because they are accepted as being safe. loosing a few minutes of bottom time and decompressing for a few minutes longer doesnt bother me, seeing a loved one being rushed to the hospital while coughing up blood does bother me.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new here but I figured I'd jump in.
    Another problem with using someone elses tables is "user" profiles will vary. This is true for Abyss, if anyone still runs it.

    It doesnt make sense to push it on your dive tables when your not pushing it with your equipment. If that makes any sense...
    Depends what a "typical dive" is. For me, a typical dive is around 100' on EAN32 for 60-90 min. Navy air tables won't help and the deco schedules they generate make me uncomfortable. Jump up to 10' and deco on back gas? That doesn't seem safe, IMHO

    Default custom tables

    Agree with the last one, but i found myself re-using my own tables because some of u/g waterways travels become "typical". It would be interesting though to see different deco profiles and compare. Under "typical dive" category i would see: Ginnie, typical gas EAN32, typical divetime until you pick up your deco bottle at the beginning of mainline or in the Eye 40-50 mins, max depth 98-102', then surface time 1hr20mins just to drive to CEE for refill and back. Staging of cause will have separate tables. Or LR, MD=105', BT=45-50 mins, EAN32. Or Manatee, etc. etc.

    It was recently here, the re-post of interesting article on deep stops. After i'v read it i noticed that V-planner shows the start of off-gassing exactly at depth as it was described in that article for the first deep stop. Now i stop myself for 2-3 mins in the middle of the Eye exit tunnel at 55' and i can feel the difference next morning!
