How does your computer handle deep dives?

Solo diver??? With 200+ dives??? Unh ... Better bite my tongue.

Nail on the head.

The single button puck is difficult. One day I will invest in a multi button. I heard the perdix is very simplistic even for average joe like myself.

Do not buy a perdix. It is one of the more complex computers out there. You set it up wrong it will kill you. Oh you forgot to disable the 50% o2 you had enabled for the last dive and it will calvulste your deco on the assumption you will switch at the right time so it saying 10mins to surface will be wrong.
Under water you can change gradient factors and mixes. You bust through stops it will just recalculate till you stop is now to long for your air.

Perdix is brilliant if you know what it is doing at all times

Dive and let dive.
You may dive to a higher standard. I will point things out and i will try to explain but i think thus thread has gone to far and gone into the personal side and i may be guilty of that also.

He bought the cheapest comluter on the market with very conservative profile and is doing multiple deep dives taking himself into deco without reading the manual.

It is a very good computer with 1 button. It happens to be the cheapest on the market also and runs a conservative profile.
I must be in the 10% as i read it a few times when i got it and never dive this computer past its NDL.

If i am planning a dive past ndl i will switch it into guage mode and use my petrel 2.
My wife has 2 of these computers and its the reason i have 1 also as i would not want to dive with a buddy diving different algorithms

No. Never exceeded ndl. Deco is only practiced, artificially forcing it by setting it on air.

Fair one

Guys you are probably being trolled look at this thread he started about task overload because of new fins

Task over-loading and diver safety

Yeah, I actually have 250+ solo dives. SDI AOW (which requires a minimum of 3-4 in water classes + 25 dives) plus 100 additional dives is required to even take the solo course. So that's what? 250 + 25 + 100 - more than 375 dives. Admittedly not a whole lot, but I know better than to do the stuff that the OP says they are doing. Do I doubt the claim of solo and 200+ dives? Eh, take a guess.

Absolutely spot on.
