Kevin, I run tables as well with my Cochran, backup AIR Solution and watch. With lots of the wrecks that sit-up 30-40 feet off the bottom you know you'll get more bottom time by using a computer. If you plan to stay in the sand and do it then yes the tables are fine. I usually run my tables for the sand but dive my computer while watching the tables and backup computer to ensure things are OK. When my Cochran is working properly it's great and I get much longer bottom times than following my tables alone.

You're using one really reliable bottom timer that cost under $200 and one really complex (read: unreliable) bottom timer that cost over $700.00. A watch and a bottom timer is all that's needed. I don't even bother with the watch, myself. (but, then again, I'm not doing those crazy :25 second deep stops.. :) --------------------------------------- Kevin Connell <kevin@nw*.co*> Northwest Labor Systems http://www.nwls.com --------------------------------------- On Tue, 22 Dec 1998, Jim Cobb wrote: > Because using a multi-nitrox computer suggests that you are deep air > diving...
