Do not buy a perdix. It is one of the more complex computers out there. You set it up wrong it will kill you. Oh you forgot to disable the 50% o2 you had enabled for the last dive and it will calvulste your deco on the assumption you will switch at the right time so it saying 10mins to surface will be wrong.The single button puck is difficult. One day I will invest in a multi button. I heard the perdix is very simplistic even for average joe like myself.

Dive and let dive.But Kharon isn't making alarming post.
No. Never exceeded ndl. Deco is only practiced, artificially forcing it by setting it on air.He bought the cheapest comluter on the market with very conservative profile and is doing multiple deep dives taking himself into deco without reading the manual.
It is a very good computer with 1 button. It happens to be the cheapest on the market also and runs a conservative profile.
I must be in the 10% as i read it a few times when i got it and never dive this computer past its NDL.
If i am planning a dive past ndl i will switch it into guage mode and use my petrel 2.
My wife has 2 of these computers and its the reason i have 1 also as i would not want to dive with a buddy diving different algorithms
Fair oneDive and let dive.
You may dive to a higher standard. I will point things out and i will try to explain but i think thus thread has gone to far and gone into the personal side and i may be guilty of that also.

Absolutely spot on.Yeah, I actually have 250+ solo dives. SDI AOW (which requires a minimum of 3-4 in water classes + 25 dives) plus 100 additional dives is required to even take the solo course. So that's what? 250 + 25 + 100 - more than 375 dives. Admittedly not a whole lot, but I know better than to do the stuff that the OP says they are doing. Do I doubt the claim of solo and 200+ dives? Eh, take a guess.
