I've had 3 failures in around 500 dives.
1) Aeris Atmos Pro told me I was at 180 with a couple of hours deco . In reality I was at 150 with no deco.
2)Diverite Duo dies during a dive in Ginnie. Early ones had a lot of problems with water leaking through the buttons and causing corrosion.
3)...
30/75 is pretty conservative. I use 30/85 on my Shearwater. On NDL dives it roughly correlates to surfacing in the green(not yellow) on my aeris (Oceanic) computer.
Can you choose your own gradient factors on the Niteq, or are you stuck with DiveRites choices?
Skimming that "forum" my guess is it's been set up by Living The Dream Divers for the sole purpose of bashing the more established operators on Cayman.
Their website is less than impressive. Spellcheck anyone ?
<<Do you have a dive shop?
Yes! We have a small but awesome store /...
Huh. Predator default is 30/85. http://www.shearwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Pursuit_Manual_1_9.pdf (page 6) Wonder why it changed?
I use 30/85 and haven't been bent yet. There again, I haven't swam to the Champagne bottle either !
I did a course some years ago with Divetech. IMHO being able to do course dives from shore is a real advantage. Take as long as needed on the classroom stuff, then go dive when ready. Not having to fit in with a boat schedule is great.
Try searching: "Sunset House" should get 4 pages of hits.
My opinion: O.K. Shore dive. Nice view from the bar. Too close to town. Did not care for the dive shop staff. (but that may have changed)
If I ever found myself in that situation you guess correctly. I absolutely would try IWR. Chances of it working without O2 seems minimal though. But if you have no other choice.............
