Hi.
I have recently started tech diving and when i am 18 i will continue to the TDI avanced trimix level. (not all in 1 go, i will gain more expirience between each course). i have started to save up for a dive computer for tech as i have a suunto gekko now and am thinking of upgrading so i might aswell get a trimix capable computer. i understand that a lot of tech divers use a bottom timer and depth gauge and write their plan on a slate, but what if you have to change your plan during your dive? Anyway i think that i would probably do that and still have a trimix computer just to be on the safe side. I have looked at a few trimix computers like the liquidvision and the suunto hel03 and the NHeO3 and the shearwater predator and so far i think that the HNe03 would be the best option for me considering the price. If anyone has any suggestions then that would be great.
i would be looking for a computer that is trimix cabable with any ratio of each gas e.g from 8 - 100 and including 100% O2, and any amount of helium and nitrogen.
also i would want to be able to use it for recreational diving with just 1 tank of air or nitrox.
Also i was wondering why some computers and not "compatable" with some deco planning software aprt from the reson that they use different algorithms. surely if your compuetre says your deco is over then it is over?
Thanks very much everyone##!!!!!!!!!!!
really appreciaite it
