Most of the modern dive software and tables are very similar.

In my training courses, I used Cochran computers and ran the simulator software on my PC to cut tables specific to the planned trimix dive. Then I laminated the printed tables and use them for backup only. Nowadays, I still take the tables with me just in case, but now, I use two cochrans in case one fails.

Vplanner software is also a good one for cutting tables.

Then you better be no deeper than 191';)cause that would be ambient pressure at that depth.

I was using computers but I would go through a couple data plus IIs a year, and the Tusa I have was way to conservative. Now I use the old Navy Dive tables.

Tables cut on V-Planner.

for added safety use tables cut on v-planner and a deco computer clear both....

I have been using v-planner for a while now, 7or 8 years I think.

It provides excellent tables. I use them to back up my computers and have used the tables only amny times also.
Ross provides excellent support also.

I use a wide open VR3 and a duo.

The question is, are you currently diving a computer? For most folks I would recommend using software that uses the same table theory as your computer,
(ie Buhlmann, Haldane, VPM,). It provides you with a very consistent back-up table.
If you use SW different from your computer model you really need to understand the differences in how your computer and your table sw calcs your uptake and release of gas.


If you aren't doing deco or using a computer, grab a set of NAUI, PADI, etc tables that you are comfortable with, or you can still use Ross's software, as long as you understand what it is doing.
