Dave, What is your normal dive profile? When I did just one dive I was fine. If I do a deco dive of say 110-130 foot on air for 45 minutes (O2 deco) the deco of the first dive would be a little longer than you would expect but if you don't have a good set of tables you wouldn't know the difference. My biggest problem was on the repetitive dive. When I would do back to back 45 minute profiles in the 110-130 range and deco on O2 with 2-hour surface interval my second deco schedule would be really long (like hours) with stops starting at 90 foot! Just curious what kinds of dives you are doing. Glad you had a better experience.

My dive partner used a Nemesis IIa Nitrox for several years as well with a several hundred dives with no failure as well. In the last 5 or 6 months I have switched over to a Commander Nitrox (non-air integrated) simply to do away with the air integration, I have logged another 80-100 dives on this computer with no failure. Neither computer has given me any problems, and I recommend them, with one exception. The data probe used for programming the mixes into the Nemesis computers is just about the most annoying piece of sh!t product I have ever used (another reason I switched over to the Commander computer). Other than the frustration of having to clean the contacts time and time again on the data probe for the Nemesis computers, I believe my computers have worked quite well, perhaps I just got lucky. Either way, I felt the need to share my experiences with these products. I do not have any experience with Cochran's customer service or representatives since I have had no reason to contact them.
