You seem to agree that a computer doesn't teach you anything or is particularly useful, but then talk about the freedom of altering the plan. If you understand decompression, then you can adjust your profile on the fly as necessary. Buy some decent software, learn about decompression and buy a bottom timer. It will cost you far less than the near £1,000 that a VR3 costs and you will get a far superior decompression on your dives. > No flames please, I'm just a newbie trying to figure things out > *before* I spend all the money. Just some advice from someone who's been there before and offering good advice. Best, John. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
