Why would somebody use a computer that does not work either? Why not learn how to decompress properly, familiarize yourself with that process over a wide range of possibilities, and then be able to decompress with no tables or computer? From: Bruce Sherman [mailto:bruce.s@co*.co*.nz*] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 6:21 PM To: Techdiver List Subject: Computor's on dives to max 40mtrs - OK or Laziness ??? Ok, quick question. Each dive I do or have ever done, in any circumstance. Is done using a Uwatec bottom timer and tables (PADI wheel for dives less than 40mtrs with no deco) ( Stop Laughing this is a serious question) as I thought this was DIR. However I get the feeling that on lots or recreational dives, lots of people who dive DIR, use computors due to convienence. And I must admitt it would be more simples to use one, BUT I'm quite quick using the wheel (stop laughing) to calculate bottom times so there isn't really an inconvienence. SO my question is : Is DIR no computors for anything bar nothing ? and if so what tables etc are people using to calculate bottom times on casual dives less than 40mtrs (no deco)? or is using a computor on dives less than 40mtrs with no deco within the DIR frame ?
