Back on track. Regardless of where your diving takes you from simple recreational to more complex technical, a computer just isn't necessary if one understands how compressed gases effect your personal body over depth and time. The computer is more of an annoyance when it calls for stops that do not adapt to your personal physiology.
Before getting educated on deco/ascent strategies, I never really paid attention to how my body felt after the dive nor how to dive without a computer. I just happen to be more attuned to my body now and can readjust my ascent strategy regardless if it's 50 ft or 150 ft for 5 mins or 50 mins all without a computer.
As for getting minor Type I hits to include tiredness after diving, I probably had more of those when I was diving a computer and on air, but never knew how to fix it since you're only taught do your safety stop and follow the computer or table.
As for running ascent tests, it's more applicable for technical divers with use of Trimix and deco gas. You'll find little variation and never feel great with use of air in recreational exposures, much less in technical or nonrecreational applications. Unless nitrogen narcosis therapy is your definition of feeling great. Nonetheless, you're already bent going into the water with a high concentration of N2.
Sincerely,
H2
