Regarding continuing on tables, I would say ‘ehh’ also. The tables unless previously planned out, do not account for multi-level dives, and let’s be honest here, who here doeesn’t go up/down 10-20’ within the same dive? Not an option in 1989-90 for most of us!
Now, if I was diving with two identical computers on identical algorithms and one failed (battery or otherwise), that would be different. But because I do not know the differences between algorithms between brands and models, I personally would not mix and match.
I understand that people have been bent following the rules, and that sucks. I would not call myself overly conservative. I have been deep (137 was my all time deepest), but I typically prefer bottom time over depth. So I prefer to keep it above 100 unless the dive calls for deeper.
