Just to try and answer some of the above questions;
Gav, I was using a borrowed Aladin Sport. Yes, I know, not the best deco computer --it is actualy sold as a non deco computer
This would not take int account temp, workload, etc. These things were added on at a guess factor into the algorithms.
Tables take into consideration workload, temp etc? none that i know about, you have to add them.
All instruction books for them tell you not to use them solely for deco info---i think you will find that tables tell you that they do not gaurentee that you will not get bent
I'm not saying that they're a bad thing, just that they should be complimented by the best dive computer you've got, your brain. ----that is my point exactly, if you or should i say one coz i am not havin a go at you, forget the 'rules' chances are you will get bent.
Instead everyone seems to have follow them like lemmings.--if the cap fits
What I say is take Buhllmans down with you and if their is a big difference in them to what your computer is telling you, follow the Buhllmans.
why bother using a computer, i worked as a guide in the red sea, and i know that if i followed my BSAC tables i would not have been able to work, we are back to the square profile thing.
After all, we're all told to follow the most conservative, aren't we?
Thats true, but if you had not done the yomp and the short surface interval you may not have got bent..
oh and its darthmoll, vader is well hard
