Dive computer algorithms

[mmcdds]

Does anyone know if there is a chart or table out there that ranks the different brands of dive computers from the least conservative algorithm to the most conservative algorithm?

Take a look at this article on the rodale's scuba diving magazine site. It might be a good start. In the "Freedom and Risk" section on page 4 are some charts under the dive profile links. Good luck.

Thats a good start but its missing some of the more advanced computers namely

Thank you, that info was helpful, we have suunto computers and I was curious to see how they compared to other brands, if suunto uses the same algorithm for all their computers, then it appears they fall into the more conservative group of computers
