I see. Technology marches on.

Having a problem with betting my butt on a battery, don't keep up on deco
computers.

Nice catch.

hopefully be getting certified for 100% soon (anyone  in the Monterey area want
to make up the numbers for a technical nitrox class with Wings in a couple of
weeks?). I know a number of people on this list advocate not using dive
computers, but the reality is that many of us do, and a dive computer will give
a violation if you go above your ceiling.  So on the 20' stop, if using a
computer you need to stay a little below 20', hence presumably reducing the
margin for downward error if on 100% O2. Correct?
