Let's look at a 90' dive and the various NDL limits...
U.S. Navy = 30 minutes
These are the most common algorythms in use by computers
Buhlman = 22 minutes
Spencer = 20 minutes

If they allow less BT for a given depth are they not more conservative. My question is does that make Joe Rec diver 'safer'?
