Dive Computers - Pros and Cons

[Dewit2it]

The only reason I went for my computer is that the numerical display is easier to read when narked.  I could always read my old Datamax bottom timer when I couldn't see the tics on my gauges.  I still carry my tables and time calculator when I go down.  I still only rely on the computer for bottom time, depth, and air pressure, everything else is on the slate.  The only alarms I like set are deco and min/turn pressure in case I get stupid.  The only other thing I like is the ascent rate indicator.

Plan your dive and dive your plan.
