Bottom line is, how can I trust that this computer calculates properly the tissue loading and all the other values if the average depth is not calculated properly? I emailed Aqualung and did not get an answer.
I would assume that Aqualung isn't very interested in spitting out Average Depth either. You can verify NDL by planning your dive by table and comparing it to the computer's readings, throwing in a fudge factor for algorithm mismatch. Or, you can probably rely on Aqualung's reputation for giving valid data on important parameters.
Average depth is a computed value based on depth and time and really doesn't have a lot to do with anything, especially the running tally of tissue saturation.
You are more at risk by improperly setting up or misinterpreting your computer than that computer failing.
