Tables are better - no argument. But when I do use a dc, for
casual and non-deco diving, why not have the computer capable of
doing it for me.
Anything longer / deeper than say, 40 min at 25 m I will always
back up with a table, and always anything going into deco will
always be planned with tables (my buddy and I typically do 120
minutes + (single 15l steel) at a beach dive 18m coral garden
nearby and while I wear the computer my tables are my rules for
those dives, it still confuses me that they did not include the
planning.
ESPECIALLY for divers unlike me who NEVER use tables... they
dive computers and that is it. period. We know they exist, padi
and naui and bsac divers the world over who use only the
computer. they are diving nitrox and will buy the latest aladin
which will let them max their no deco bottom time and will do
multiple dives with it: but the computer they buy will NOT do
planning.
I feel that this is irresponsibility on the part of Uwatec on a
grand scale.
