Well, unfortunately, no luck. He simply uses a proprietary dive
computer. Perhaps something he said can help during your design, if
you find there really isn't any available:

"Straight tables are very inflexible; they do not account for multi-

I trust my dive computer - and each vendor uses their own tables to
compute Nitrogen and Oxygen loading."

Sorry I couldn't help any further, good luck.
