Huh? Varies by how much exactly Manos? What kind of dives could you possibly
be talking about?

Explore the unknown? You have to set a depth for a dive right? You have to
select a gas before you dive right? Or are we talking recreational dives
here? What kind of dives are you making exactly?

The best advice I can give you is to not buy into the computer hype. Learn
decompression diving the right way and use BT with tables only. What level
diver are you? I recommend finding some good instructor that can help you
out here.

Best,

THOMAS
