I have a Sunto Solution AIR computer. When I've bent it (following NITROX tables) it will still give you decompression calculations on repetitive dives. I've never actually tried to calculate how accurate these "after bent" readings are but I think the computer penalizes you for having bent it. Not plugging Solution computers just adding some more information Safe diving, Art. art.paltz@r2*.co* Last Dive 6/29/97, USS Bass(Submarine), Block Island, RI., 155ft/40 minutes, 41 degrees F,21% bottom, 50% stage mix .. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Connell Sent: Thursday, July 03, 1997 12:22 AM To: William M.

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'.
