ERD, what software is used?

[Darren27]

I have just booked onto an ERD course for later in the spring and was a little curious as to what software program is used to produce the table/run times for the dives. Do BSAC recomend a program or is it down to the instructors?

Cheers

Cheers Nick,

Do you happen to know where I could download a copy? I have searched Google and keepending upat the IANTD website, but there doesnt appear to be a download link.

Thanks

Proplanner is a commercial one so you pay and it's DOS based.

There is no specific software however any ERD I have been involved with we have shown the students a number of different programmes and shown the features of each one.

Pro planner is also the 'course' deco' software for the new Trimix courses (both CCR & OC).

It's been around quite a while now which gives it something of a track record. In addition, Kevin gave his permission for it to be used on BSAC courses.

The slightly irritating thing is it doesn't produce alternate plans at the push of a button. That said I've happily been using it for years, so I have a degree of confidence in it.
