that way when you go deep, it will be more lenient on you and give you more deco time for your depth.
i have found that in the standard mode without any ++ features selected for personal settings, i can still end up with Type I DCS after diving deep and following the Suunto's instructions on a slow egression and some added decompression.
my definition of "deep" is however deeper than 145 fsw. the Navy tables give you 5 min of NDL time for dives to 190 fsw. the Suunto only gives you about 2 or 3. even then, i have found that additional decompression is necessary at those depths in order to avoid Type I.
dont plan anything for the day after your deep dives. even though the Yukon in only about 120 feet down, dont stay too long.
good luck, Eins!
