Yes, I would be able to complete the deco if my computer failed, for two reasons not mentioned above. First, I always carry at least one spare computer. Second, I do plan my deco dives from tables, and I do carry a fully redundant console -- my first stage has two HP ports, and when doing deco, I use two independent first stages. I monitor the computer to verify my bottom time and air time, and if I were blown away from the boat and low on air, I would be willing to follow it to the surface if necessary. I do not carry tables on the dive, and I challenge anyone to show me that the tables they are using are based on the *same* model as their computer. I am not aware of any current computer which uses the *exact* same model as a published set of tables, save perhaps the Suunto USN, which simply performs a table lookup. Interesting, eh?
