If a diver cannot even add 2 + 2, I don't give them great odds at getting through that one.
I'm not in favor of divers diving in an environment where they are so impaired they can't add 2+2. Do you have a different opinion?

Narcosis is interesting for sure. I've had a pretty easy go in that regard but when I get deeper I really limit how hard I'm working. Around here more likely than not it's either a wall or a fairly sharp drop off of some kind. I never mix current and depth.
The first time I went to 140 fsw I had to do quite a bit of swimming and I stopped and turned at the planned depth and looked at my compass to navigate back. I knew what it was and how it worked but there was a hesitation of a second or two whereas normally there wouldn't be.
Darkness and poor viz does have some affect (on me) but half of my diving is at night so I'm used to that and I'm used to somewhat limited viz as well. More than anything else I think that anything you aren't used to has a greater effect with narcosis along with CO2 buildup.
Have yet to see a valid reason for not using an air intergrated wireless dive computer as a recreational diver.
Why is an AI computer not have a valid reason for the rec diver but a regular dive computer does?Have yet to see a valid reason for using an air integrated wireless dive computer as a recreational diver.
Although I don't use a computer in the traditional sense, I feel they are an important tool for most recreational divers and critical for their safety, especially for occasional divers. AI is a fun feature, but if you need it to safely execute a dive, you should probably be diving under supervision.
Car buyer: Hi, I need a car with one of those gas mileage computers.
Car seller: I have lots of great cars, but only a few with that feature. Why do you need it?
Car buyer: So I know how far I can go before running out of gas.
Car seller: Can't you just look at the gas gauge?
Car buyer: That's too complicated.
Car seller: Okay, so how often do you run out of gas?
Car buyer: Never.
Car seller: Have you considered an ejection seat?
