What are your preferences for dive computers, air integrated or not, and why?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I own an air integrated computer and refer to it occasionally more to see if it agrees with me and my estimates than to use it as a tool to plan the dive. (not the best idea in my opinion)
I know my air consumption, I know what I will need to surface and I know what I want in reserve at the end of the dive (1/3 in deep or overhead situations, 500 psi back at the boat in others) So in practice I will turn the dive when my planned bottom time is reached or when the pre calculated psi reading to turn the dive is reached - which ever comes first. And given my generally low air consumption the dive buddie's air remaining is almost always the deciding factor and the air integration feature on my computer is largely unused.
