In 2013 are you using a tech computer (as a computer) or BT for your tech diving?

[Nasser]

We are now in 2013 and with the technical advances being made over the last few years in technical computers, I'm wondering who here prefers to use dive tables (or generate their own tables with deco software) and use a bottom-timer/depth gauge ? And who prefers to use a tech computer - as a computer (not in Gauge mode) ?

cheers,

Both. I always use computer, BT and "cut" tables matching computer algorithm. Nothing less will do!

3 Computers here. Vision, Petrel and DX.

Only thing I need is an underwater EMP to go off.

But this is for a CCR, for OC Deco diving, I use the Petrel and a slate.

Dive is planned with tables and executed as much as possible according to the plan. Computer is running VPM as an "oh, *&#^" backup.

Computer. back-up is planned on gases available and known consumption. If computer goes phut then just use the planned gas at the intended stops.

i have a tec2g in gauge mode
only use the computer so it logs my dives for later

BT only, tables cut with vplanner


...I also carry a backup BT on my buddy's wrist
