2 computers, or ?

Hello,

Interested to know what people use for deco dives, regards computers, tabels!

iani · 26th July 2006, 22:33

I use the primary display on boris to control the dive but also have an offboard VR3 as a backup, if both fail then I guess it isn't my day to dive.

I have a bottom timer and tables. If I'm diving with someone else then I don't take a backup but if I'm not then I do.

If it's <40m diving then I dive an old Mk1 Aladin Pro.

HydroSpace Explorer on RGBM algo and O2 sensor.
Very pleasant to use, but not very reliable... So a Nitek in gauge mode as backup (with tables or "brain deco", depend of the dive).
I wait for a Cochran EMC20H to test. If it works as I hope I'll use HSE and Cochran together.

1 computer, 1 bottom timer. I also carry a set of constant PO2 air tables - not that useful if I'm diving mix (no cert yet). However I don't get into very much deco, keep a very close eye on how much, and am pretty confident of doing a fair approximation to the profile my VR3 would have given if it fails, or if VR3 and Rebreather both fail. May need something more as I start going deeper/longer.

Where's the option for one computer + one timer + tables?

VR3, Uwatec bottom timer, and Vplan tables laminated in the pocket.

I'm with him -though not laminated tables- just penned onto two slates. not that i'm doing deco dives on the Rebreather just yet. its what i use OC, i don't see a reason to change it.
