  David, as I mentioned, the decompression displayed by the computers is 
incorrect for any profile. There are many other problems when you use several 
gas swithces, which you will find out about as you get going with this. They
are 
very expensive white elephants, and are useless.

  DECOM software can be bought from Bell Computing, Ronnie Bell is on here. You 
will learn how to use this quite effectively, and there are many on here who
can 
help you with the intricacies of that.

  You may not know, but I do a lot of very serious decompression diving and
have 
done so for years. You will not see anyone who does this recommend a dive 
computer. The only people who will recommmend this are those who either sell 
them, have realtionships with the companies who sell them, dive instructors who 
sell them, or people who do no real diving. 

   I guarantee you that, and anyone who gets serious will back me up on this, 
and all of them wish they had spent the money on something else. 1,800 Canadian 
Dollars is outrageous for these pieces of shit. You should be embarassed for 
even considering wasting you money that way, and you will be kicking yourself 
when you eventually learn what all of that money can really get you in this 
sport. 

   Let me help all of you get the most for the money. We use the absolute best 
stuff, and have the most stuff, but have less money in it than most of you who 
do not have what we have. My friend Casey McKinlay just had to quit cave diving 
, and it took him one post to Freeattic and one to these lists to sell every 
single piece of gear he had at either what he paid for it , or in the case of 
the scooter I built him, considerably more, and he sold it in about one hour, 
and he had everything that I have. 

    I know what I am talking about, and am willing to share all of my info - 
don't let the gear-selling strokes take your money and leave you holding the
bag 
with no real gear - LET ME HELP !
