	I know some people that use the air x and some other remote trans
units. The air x is still a comp after you lose the trans (for what ever
reason) and is as accurate as anything else for a bottom timer.-But,think
this thru-the cost is over $700 U.S. and the only function that it does
has that makes it different than most comps is the computer
interface(which is nice if you are mapping or looking to plan step-by-step
mix dives). I don't think the interface equip is included in the purchase
price. So, if you look at the possible failure of a hard fixed item to the
first stage,the loss of tank info, and only air computation-all versus
price, then maybe a used bridge II w/interface might do what you want
except for digital psi. The remote units do fail and are very funny when
it comes to adjusting deco due to consumption rates and temp. I don't like
them and would just go with a basic Buhlmann algorithm air comp for fun
dives as well as a timer for mix(nitrox or He), of course that just my
opinion, I could be a stroke-EZ
