This!Have him set his Perdix to auto mode and it will adjust to his current elevation. ....There are some other settings he may want to consider like fresh water versus salt. ....... diving above 6,000 feet so he just needs to be aware of a few things. If he plans on driving the same day, it might be best to stick to non-deco dives.
(Yes, he called the police and recovery peeps before diving.) (Thoughts?)
Shirley, that’s a joke?
Digital age or not, physics haven't changed since they were defined.I understand why altitude diving needs greater conservativeism, I learned to use those special charts, this decadent digital age has made me complacent though: I trust the black box to sweat the details of it. Maybe we here at Scubaboard could all use a dose of reality on this subject?
Yep, the Perdix is all that you need to do such a dive.What do you mean he was faking stops with his Perdix? Doesn’t the computer know what the surface pressure is and adjust accordingly? ...//...
This is my central point. I don't fly my computers as I don't trust the simple "cheat" of just depending totally on them without any innate sense of the forces at play....//... Maybe we here at Scubaboard could all use a dose of reality on this subject?
