Forget a computer, theres many of us happily diving on tables. A far cheaper option.

While I generally agree with you, using a cell integrated computer with an active addition SCR like the Dolphin, Ray and Azimuth is actually helpfull and I wouldn't want to do witout it.

An O2 monitor does give you the pO2 reading, but the computer will use it for both alarms and deco calculation. The O2 content can vary by several % from the mix in the tank, so you simply get more out of your SCR with a higher safety margin when you use one. Since they're the least efficient of rebreathers which makes it worth the investment, I agree with Andrew in that regard.
