Newb...looking for a Dive Computer

[firstbreath]

that's what I thought they would teach us...but our instructor pushed the computer over the tables. More accurate and reduces that chance of human error from miscalculation. We were given the tables and wheels, but didn't go over them a whole lot.

Maybe I'll just give in and purchase a computer, so I don't have to rely on the tables when in Mexico. i don't think I fully trust myself relying on something I wasn't fully trained on. better be safe than sorry.

then again...it's just a two-tank dive...so I imagine using the tables wouldn't be that difficult. I'll just have to worry about one dive with residual Nitrogen in my system.

LOL...Underwater Connection in West Allis (WI).

We were actually given homework assignments to read through all the materials and answer questions. There was one section on dive tables...I tried figuring them out at home before the class started. But when it came time to go over the answers in class, they hardly touched on that subject. So that's why I figured these tables are obsolete now.....hence my need for a computer
