the only difference I know of is that in air mode the bar graph on the
left side of the screen displays your no deco time;<br>
in nitrox mode it displays your CNS uptake.<br>
If it's more conservative in air mode I don't know, I never used it like
that.<br>
even the manuel states that nitrox divers should leave it in nitrox mode.
(what's the point of switching?)<br>
Doesn't matter if the manuel sucks, the computer is so easy to use I
didn't need it.<br><br>
I do compared the vyper to an uwatec aladin, and found that it's less
conservative up to 30m. but more conservative beyond this 
depth.<br><br>
I like this computer, it has everything you need.<br>
you can easely build a pc interface yourself<br>
the only thing I miss are multiple gasses :-)<br><br>
