PerroneFord:What I don't understand, is with the technology available today, so many computers still penalize you for time you spend offgassing. This is my only real knock against using them. If I dive to 100ft, and I spend time on deco at 50,40,30, and 20ft, the computer should NOT be penalizing me for that. It should be intelligent enough to realize that I am taking nitrogen out of my body.
Why do I need to spend $800 on a computer that can integrate deep stops, or has RGBM to do this? Until they come down in price, I'll stick with a depth guage or a comp in guage mode, and tables..
- that's why you do your homework (like me!) and get a SUUNTO (like me!) - even the lowest priced MOSQUITO uses the RGBM model. when you download the data to your PC and make all dem purty graphs you can play the dive like a VCR where on the NITROGEN loading graph; yes, it DOES show you offgassing as you come up from depth - but only in certain 'compartments' - [as noted elsewhere] - some of the "deeper" compartments continue to ON-gas.
