Apologies to Carl Heinzl, I did indeed misinterpret you when you said you didn't
need to decompress after a 200 fsw dive.  If you did your decompression below
the indicated ceiling, in your case in the shallow part of your dive, you
were in fact probably fine.

Dave Story says that most computers aren't Buhlmann.  That may be so; I guess
I'm judging from the what I see in the wreck and cave community where most
people doing deep or decompression diving use Aladin Pros (modified Buhlmann
ZH-12, I believe).

I can't resist a word on Poseidons.  I love mine (I have two Odins and a Cyklon)
but that's partly because I'm an engineer and like to tinker.  Odins require a
lot more care than, say, my Scubapro.  For example, I have found that if you
soak them unpressurized in fresh water, gunk can build up under the silicone
sleeve in the second stage and cause it to freeflow.  On the other hand they
put out a lot of air, don't freeze easily in cold water, and are one of the
few regs whose warranty isn't voided when you use them with other than air.
