George Do you really think so? I don't have the number for PADI or the Coast Guard. The DAN number is plastered on my equipment, and I can usually remember the number for 911. As a newbie, I need more details than the average Techy when you are giving advice........ Wait a minute! You are just making fun of me because I asked a stupid question. On second thought, it really wasn't so stupid. It is a real life scenario, with some numerical information missing. Every single decompression calculation that you or anyone else does is missing information. They are all based on assumptions. Practically every dive runs risk of DCS no matter how conservative you think you are being. The problem is, I do not have enough knowledge or training to figure out what to do. Because of this, I must always err on the conservative side. This is why I am seeking additional training. I would like to know what the risks of a given procedure are so that I can judge for myself whether or not to use them. ttfn David "I am going to Cuba, and you aren't" Pearson In message "continue diving after computer failure?", gmiiii@in*.co* writes: > > David, if your computer fails you should immediately do a fifteen minute >safety stop (treated like less than two squares from a black box), get out of >the water, assume the position, call the Coast Guard for an evac helo, and >breath oxygen.
