Modern computers can store hundreds of hours of dive data (I don't know if the G2tek is an exception).I’m not sure if the argument is strong or not. Would need to talk to some hyperbaric docs and see how often they encounter situations where dive data has been overridden or not saved because the computer continued running after a diver suffered the bends. Also would need to know how useful that data is for them. I suspect somewhat so.
Closer to 2% chance of being bent.Surfacing with no deco over the Buhlman M line with no conservativism built in is pretty high risk. Not 100% you’ll be bent.
Which is why you believe the fairy tale that it is "very high risk." It is higher risk that most people want to take, but far from "already bent."I believe there are prognostic tables for this but haven’t explored them yet.
I have lots of SucbaPro gear (probably 2/3 SP overall). The only interaction with their customer support I had was great. But the above claims are fairy tales, and not them at their finest.As for the quality of the customer service. A seriously veteran diver took 20 minutes of his time to explain to me the function of the computer and his arguments for why it is a safe and effective device. He was generous and kind and prompt in his response. Those things are invaluable and contradictory to some of the reports I have read. difficult to dispute that point.
Would love to see the article where they estimate this. Not sure my statement was exact enough to provide something to estimate off of. Prognosticating pathophysiology is hard. I’m not a hyperbaric doc. But I am a physician and for most illnesses with much more data than DCI we still aren’t great at it even with large data sets. Just taking the percentages of people who’ve been bent certainly wouldn’t work.Closer to 2% chance of being bent.

DAN has just re-opened the idea of in water re-compression in certain situations. Wearing a computer that could lock out eliminates that option.
I feel the need to clarify that the statement "However, if you are unable to descend back to the first stop, there will be no recalculation at the shallower depth and the computer will be of little use beyond providing you the depth and dive time."My Findings:
As long as you can descend back to the stop depth indicated, the G2 Tek will not lock you out and will start the deco countdown again once you reach the stop depth. However, if you are unable to descend back to the first stop, there will be no recalculation at the shallower depth and the computer will be of little use beyond providing you the depth and dive time. It will show you the stop depth that you need to descend to to start the deco algorithm running again, but will not recalculate any stops at the shallower depth in the event you cannot descend.
. It is only when you have missed enough stops that the next stop depth is recalculated at 100/100 where the condition I describe will occur.
