CNS computing mistake

It's not a comparison with Shearwater or your manual method but Baltic on
the phone gives me 70% CNS and 104 OTU on a 74 minute runtime so very close
to the Subsurface figures. iDeco Pro is giving me 64% and 84 OTUs on a 65
minute runtime (iDeco Pro i can't see the descent, it seems to start at 50m
so probably what accounts for the shorter runtime and some of the missing
OTUs.

Can you share your Shearwater planning at all or is it all on the screen of
the device?
