This doesn't take multiple dives into account at all.

According to http://www.therebreathersite.nl/04_Links/Downloads/cns.pdf
it is common practice to calculate a surface decay as exponential decay
with a half-time of 90 minutes. Which means that in typical boat diving
the CNS value from the previous dive will have significant impact on the
next dive.
