He hasn't been around long enough to earn the title.

Naw. I got the notice less than a week before leaving on my last trip, so I
brought a backup computer instead. I hope it doesn't make the Suunto even
more conservative.

Divers doing deep or long dives requiring decompression will use a
decompression strategy that is far different from the one that the
computer has.

Ask George M about trimix computers.

What I'm saying is that many of us believe that there is strong
empirical and theoretical evidence that the Buhlmann model that is used
in your computer and much of the planning software in use is flawed,
especially for helium. The VPM is better, but not perfect either.

Until they can plug sensors into your blood stream and take real time
measurements, no model will be perfect. No model *can* be perfect.
It can be more or less accurate, though.

Wouldn't they need to have the sensors in various other parts of your
body since not all the parts off-gas at the same rate?

Yeah, sure. I guess.

They'd also need a Mr. Fusion and a flux capacitor, and they'd have to
bounce the photon beam off the main deflector dish. (Don't worry boys,
we're making shit up as we wish...)

Cochran is supposed to have its new flux capacitor computer ready by
mid-2008, after they release the HUD mask.
