Hello,

Could someone advice me about the settings regarding The GF?

Thanks

I think, that there could be no "general" advice for setting the GFs

The lower you set GF-low (e.g. 20 or less), the deeper the stops will start (e.g. 21 or 24m for a 50m dive with 20min bottom-time). The higher you set GF-high (e.g. 80 or higher), the shorter the shallow stops will be.

I use GF hi/lo = 90/15 and the whole decotime is approximately the same as calculated with "ratio deco", but the perticular stops are a little different.

The Bühlmann-model with Baker's gradient factors will never produce "deepstops" as introduced by Richard Pyle or teached by GUE or ISE (80% of pressure or 75% of max-depth) or something else.

I hope that helps...

Below link to very nice GF values explanation (I believe it was posted before on this forum by some one else)

In article linked below, Baker writes why GF are better than deep stops
