Simon -

Thomas is right that memorizing your tables is the first and best 
solution, but I also write mine (along with bailouts) in a Wetnotes 
waterproof notebook that I keep in my left thigh pocket and with a 
waterproof marker on a strip of white duct tape that I stick down the 
side of my top deco bottle (o2 or 50/50 depending on the dive).  The 
wetnotes give me a means of communicating with other divers underwater 
and a place to jot down notes I eventually transfer into my logbook (I 
still keep one) -- along with a record of deco tables for wrecks I dive 
frequently.  The duct tape strip is a quick cheat sheet for my planned 
deco and one or two likely mods/bailouts that I slap on the deco bottle 
on the boat ride out.  Simple with no entanglement risk.

Bill
