What I’d like to know is what dive can not be made without a computer. Let alone a dive to 15m inside NDL. As for the analogy that you can’t leave your neighbourhood without a car, is laughable. Are people serious.
Is a Computer essential kit?

Good thing OP is in Australia, then.
If you stay shallow, use a small tank, and have a long surface interval, you don’t need much at all. As they said back when: “you can’t get bent on a 72”. No need for depth gauge if you know you’re staying shallow. No need for timer if your tank is too small to stay down long. No need for tables if you don’t track your depth and time. No need for SPG if you use a J valve. (Okay, maybe not that last…) If the very limitations of the situation prevent you from even being able to reach dangerous levels of saturation, why carry a gadget to keep track of it? For that matter, why buy an expensive wetsuit when you can glue one together yourself with a pattern in a magazine?!
That old-school sleek minimal look has a lot going for it as long as you stay on the very “rec” end of the rec-tech spectrum. You should probably buy a computer anyway though because pushing things further is a lot of fun.

The question I asked is what dive can’t be made without a computer.
Then do the dive without that boat or computer.
