It all comes down to planning. If you don't plan out the dive, and hope your
computer is going to do it for you, you are making a huge mistake. Computers
allow you to take the easy way out. They give you a false sense of security,
don't allow for gas consumption plans, expect you to change the gas on the
fly. No thanks. Even if my bottom timer goes I still have my buddies. How
many buddy teams all wear the same computer?
