Necessity of a back up computer/watch for NDL diving

[ATJ]

Hey dada - can one transmitter transmit to 2 separate computers? It may make the case for an air integrated Oceanic backup for me... or another Perdix...lol

Definitely. My transmitter talks to both my Perdix and my Atom. I often dive with 2 tanks (twins or a pony) and have two transmitters sending to both computers.

Yes. I had an Aeris A300 CS for a while with a Perdix AI. Transmitters just transmit. DCs receive the signal.

Funny thing, I have dived 2 computers for about 13 years

I’ve dived with at least 2 computers or one computer and a watch for 14 years.

Perdix and Teric and the same for my dive team soul mate.

The transmitter simply broadcasts. The computer decides which transmitters it listens to. Think of it like a radio broadcast and a radio receiver.

Theoretically, if Mr. OOO and I both have Perdixes (Perdi? we have his/hers now) I could have my own transmitter as T1 showing on my Perdix as well as my air integrated backup (Oceanic? Shearwater?) and I can put his as T2 and when I get close enough to him, I can see T2, while he can have that same transmitter I have for T2 as his T1...............

The light bulb and the gears are turning now

Yes that is what we do in single tank. Now that we do a lot of sidemount we are only monitoring our own tanks on our SWs.

I got rid of the Aeris and now have a Perdix AI and a regular Perdix. At some point I'm going to upgrade the Perdix to an AI or Teric. Then I'll have two DCs monitoring 2 transmitters.

Thanks, guys. I'm going to run home and tell Mr. OOO all about this and I think he will love it.
