Jim, what do you mean about your new wrist slate section? I'm not positive I
want to get way into tech diving because I'm 48 years old but I do want to
learn about it. Decompression theory is interesting and it's affects on the
body is relevent to me even if I don't go real deep. I may decide down the
road to volunteer for a recompression chamber.


1) Tables
2) No tables and no computer
3) Math equations??
4) Tabletop software programs
5) Wrist Computers
by order of preference
