Bruce, It's all lip service in my opinion, most of the ones with the
decompression software doing big dives on the computer at home, actually show
up at the site for the "pussy dives" with no tables and a computer and some
with just a BT. Next time you're in the water doing a buddy check call BU
tables and see for yourself. As for me I dive the Buehlmann table and it's
always clipped off in my slate pocket (right thigh). In order to forget it I'd
have to forget my drysuit..:-)

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 ?
