Dive Planning and Logging Software

While these are excellent reference materials, in no way should this information be considered a replacement for proper training for the specific type of diving in which you plan to participate.

It is important to understand that no decompression procedure, software, table, or dive computer exists which can guarantee that Decompression Sickness (DCS) will not occur.  It is possible for DCS to occur as a result of both "no decompression" as well as "planned decompression" dives.  The only way to completely avoid the risk of DCS is to not dive.  Before undertaking any dives involving planned decompression or mixed gas it is necessary to gain further training and experience in these areas.

Software or a dive computer manual can not be considered a substitute for proper training.
