Actually, every computer I've ever dived with will still give you depth and bottom time once violated. (Ok, so it's only three different computers, but they were all recent [<2yrs] models.) It would be an even more serious legal problem if the unit stopped giving you this information during a "violated" dive. The worst part is listening to the beeping ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Connell <kevin@nw*.co*> Northwest Labor Systems http://www.nwls.com Bellingham, WA --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
