Here you go: Dive Planning forms, tables & formulasWow... I cant believe how rude and snobby I sounded since I read my first post. Now that I have let off a bit of steam, I can really see where you guys are coming from. Yes, my Aunt has more experience as me, and yes, I am extremely lucky to have someone pay for a fantastic vacation. I shouldn't get hung up on little things like her paying for a dive computer. If anything, I will try to learn how to use dive tables in the time between the trip in October and now. That way I wont have to pay any money at all and I will be a smarter diver. Does anyone have a good resource for learning dive tables? That would be much appreciated .
Ask her why she needs to spend money on an SPG. If she knows her consumption rate she can calculate that too.
...snip... And I made a mistake when I said "maximize bottom time." I'm not going to wait seconds until my DC time is coming to the end, I just believe that electronics nowadays are more accurate than crude tables. ...snip...
I don't think so.It might surprise you to learn that the algorithm inside that computer is also based on the tables. .....
A dive computer is just a cartoon of a decompression model, a set of tables is a series of snapshots of a decompression model ...
