Dive computers fail or malfunction.
So it's only a Question of when and how to prepare for that time.
Which is better? :
1. Dive with one computer and back up with an analog depth and pressure gauge.
2. To dive with two computers and back up with an analog depth and pressure gauge.
3. Or dive with two air integrated computers. (Take the analog depth and pressure gauges along to use if (when) one of the computers malfunction).
Yes I do refer to tables when dive planning---but with repetitive dives on multidays---I am off the tables by the second or third dive.
On a pool test dive with my new Uwatec Air Z nitrox wristit malfunctioned. It is now at ScubaPro in California. This was my first dive with it.
I am planning on getting a Suunto Vytec air integrated or Vyper not air integrated. My husband thinks getting a backup computer for each of us is over kill.
Yes, I want to be prepared!
Going to Cozumel the end of April---can hardly wait and I want to dive and not sit out if (when) my one computer (and only computer) goes south on me.
Thanks! An AZ Diver.
