This is exactly what is so dangerous about the Cochran dc's -- at the very
least, the wrist unit should blank or flash when a signal from the computer
is missed (even just one).  An improvement would be if the wrist unit had
its own pressure transducer, and at least contiued showing depth/time info.
Of course, that still leaves you without deco info...(perhaps Cochran should
rethink their approach of a brainless display!)
