I think I should actually title this the lost art of diving without a computer
I am looking at taking tech courses next year but until then I want to get used to diving with the computer in guage mode within recreational limits.
When I started diving I got a computer and my instructor said to put the tables away and just use the computer, hence I did. I understand the tables but they are for square profiles however the majority of my dives are anything but square.
My dives are usually wall dives that start deep and work up into the shallows. (A nice long ascending slope)
Any sugguestions or direction on how I should be planning such a dive these?
Would it be just a case of do not exceed NDL at depth and then work my way into the shallows and not worry about how much time is spent in the shallows since I would most like run out of air before hitting the shallow NDLs?
Please and thanks
