Difference between the tables and computer is that tables (in general) assume square profile and computer tracks current situation and calculates loading based on that. So in general what you will see is that computer would show longer time but less gas loading than the tables.
I'm not sure if you're responding to me, but if so I do understand the difference between tables and a computer in terms of square vs. actual dive.
What I was trying to compare is actual dive time on the OP's dives, vs. actual dive time on my own dives. Since I know he was using a computer, and since he used the term "bottom time" instead of "dive time," I am not sure if he was counting dive time (like my computer does), or bottom time (like maybe some other computers do, or like one would with tables, or like one could do if one looked at one's computer profile and adjusted the time to be the traditional, table, time).
If you weren't replying to me... oops, nevermind.
Thanks,
