More puffery/BS from ScubaPro via ChatAI? What could possible go wrong...
This is best one: Feel free all those that blindly promote GF as best because you can select "level of conservatisim, this is why GF better than G2 and whatever it does." Ok so now we have level of conservatisim and which is best? Feel free to show exact settings and why? Best you going to get from any manufacturer is L, M, H or levels 0 - 9. But somhow this always gets turned on head, in fafor of marketing retoric or outright misinformation. O'h and please also show reserch showing which GF best for many factors including age?
You really should limit your comments on the Subject of the Scubapro G2.
"In technical diving a dive computer is not
the primary instrument to follow during the
dive. Before the dive you must make a plan
and during the dive follow it. If your plan and
the computer show different schedules,
follow the more conservative one."
The above is a primary factor of why so many "adult" divers take advantage of what the G2 has to offer.
But again, when half of the posters commenting here are more involved GF99 and SurGF, ON THE FLY as compared with diving the decompression plan, what would you expect? Calculating and reccomending deep deco diving on the fly is just wrong. This is turned round by the retoric and praise of live GF monitoring.
(Feel free to stare and attempt to dcipher what your dive coumputer is telling you on the fly. The mental gymnasitics are huge. I set my G2 to the plan, it instanly alerts me when I have exceeded the parameters I set it for when I made my dive plan, I value this feature. ) So says the sales literature. Perhaps when we have people that have actually used the G2 AND have used other brands, we can all have an adult discussion instead of this ill and uninformed constant bantering. I suspect the vast majority here do not own multiple units, much less understand fully.
The constant attacks regarding the G2 SOS mode is just one example of the intentional ignorance and misdirection that continues to surface here. Do yo know why SOS mode is important in light of repetitive diving? And the fact that most of those GF types fall very, very short on this subject? When you enter SOS mode, neither the computer AND YOU can use the decompression features, which is basicially why many purchase a dive computer in the first place. Why then does other brands, other than Scubapro continue to bash a safety feature when circumstances which create the safety feature are caused by ignoring the units in the first place. And then these other manufaturers try to turn a deficit into a markiting positive. You can always reset the thing, or use it to monitor depth and time, but alas so many try to use propaganda and lie and say the unit shuts off or whatever. Personally if the conditions exsist that cause a copmputer to go into SOS mode, you really shouldnt be diving again, period. And the fact that the unit is telling you something about the dive you just did, well I am glad it locks (SOS mode NOT lockout) out, because you are asking it to guess or remember something you ignored in first place. I use the G2 to track multi day dives, it is the best at that. PDIS takes care of Deep stop issues, G2 best at "efficency" if anyone would bother to learn and actually study manual.
"When the G2 is set to Gauge mode, it will
only monitor depth, time, and temperature,
and will not carry out any decompression
calculations."
"WARNING
Dives in Gauge mode are performed at your
own risk. After a dive in Gauge mode you must
wait at least 48 hours before diving using a
decompression computer."
"When on the surface in Gauge mode,
the G2 will show neither the remaining
desaturation time nor the CNS O2 % value.
It will, however, display a surface interval up
to 24 hours and a 48-hour no-fly time. This
no-fly time is also the time during which you
cannot switch back to computer mode."
Here is the official rational regarding SOS / Gauge mode: If you are stupid enough or perhaps had some kind of emergency and incure a massive deco debt, I am not going to let you back into the water. You are going to have to do things like reset the device or do the right thing and have a big surface interval, cause you have done something so that I can no longer keep track of your deco. Now here is the thing, other manufacturers leave your mistakes and ignorace up to you then get you to belive that this is a benifite.
Real facts from real users of the device are in short supply here. You have previously admitted basicailly you have "never even seen" one of these units.
PDIS in the G2 is not and has never been a promotion for Deep Stops way of thinking. Scubapro MB is not be confused with promoting deep stops either, but so many of you try!!! WHY?
"Along the same lines,
PDIS will account for the accumulated
nitrogen from previous dives; hence,
PDIS is also repetitive-dive dependent." >>>So many other manufaturers can not make the same stement.
Here is other favorite lie: "Workload , no scientific proof, just gimmick." <<<< But there is research, and lots of it that support the other factors are very, very impoortant. You could also state the reverse of this lie as well, there is no research contradicting workload isn't a benifite. Use brain, temperature, respiration, heart rate, temperature very important. Anyone who say otherwise is just attempting to manipulate and lie to those who want their hands held and can't be botherd invest in learning.
I would guess that you base your "Opinions" upon a quick read of the online manual? It takes long time to fully learn something. Perhaps putting in effort beyond what you willing to do? No free lunch with G2, designed for efficency and actual real use, as compared with faux hand holding and features that have sever demands upon thinking. And biggist irony of all, G2 has more features, first, and same features just described differently. Any experinced G2 user can spot the retoric and misdirection, but then why bother coreecting them, they seem to have agenda and would listen anyways.
I would offer that would be a mistake. The G2 does not hold your hand with markiting retoric, which in fact increases risk taking by the fact that to use a G2 as compared with other dive computers, you really do need to know your stuff. There is no hand holding here as clearly evedent in other units.
So why not real owners of G2 speak up here, cause they know better than to deal with people who not fully versed and informed, Keep your marketing materials and incomplete understanding, who can't be bothered. You especially, you do not own a G2, you have never used a G2, you have never seen one, you post misinformation about G2, and yet your mouth keeps moving.
Short version.
