UWATEC bottom timer and tables.

Or a Suunto Vyper, if you must.

Common sense of the Trailer Trash.

The only time you introduce confusions and terror is when you involve the
Bar.

None. AI is not Scottish.

I'd rather have my fingernails ripped out.

Many experienced divers do not prefer AI.

Usually people try to sell it to you because it's the most expensive
thing in the dive shop.

Having your tank pressure electronically delivered to you is really
rolling the dice, amoung other concerns.

How does the NDL time on a Vyper with the RBGM model compare to NDL from
computers that use a Haldane-type model?

Many experienced divers do not prefer computers at all. Use your head, they
say.

The most expensive isn't necessarily the worst.

Why? You eliminate problems that could otherwise happen to an HP hose and
an analog pressure gauge. All my NDC info, depth, time, etc., are already
electronically delivered to me, so why not tank pressure too?

Having electronically delivered tank pressure gauges more problems
than it eliminates -- and they are more likely to actually occure.

HP hoses and analog pressure gauges have been prooven over many years
to be *VERY* reliable. Electronic devices have many known problems:
sometimes the sending unit on the tank fails to send; sometimes the
gauge fails to recive. Sometimes the electronics end up being far
less robust in a salt water environment that the analog devices the
are trying to replace.

As for loosing the NDC info, depth, time, etc... If you are within your
NDL, you can just surface. (If you do NOT know how to make a safe, slow
ascent without staring at a depth gauge, learn now.) If you have a
decompression obligatio, you'd better have a backup plan in your head
and backup insruments for (at least) depth and time.
(I dive with a computer AND a bottom timer for this reason.)

Nor is it the most practical.

I've seen a lot more batteries fail than HP hoses, plus, a hose
failure doesn't preclude the funtion of the guage while you egress.

So it's more convenient to lose all that information at once, as
opposed to part of it?
