With all due respect, aren't you the guy who is panhandling in a different thread?
You can do what you need to do with a set of tables and a bottom timer. I paid for my gear without resorting to begging, and I get by quite nicely with custom cut tables, an OMS bottom timer and a Stinger set to gauge mode.
That said, I believe that the Mosquito is reasonably conservative.

besides your other thread yes there are a few tha are very conservative being the suunto brand seems to be very conservative , Price wise not allways so conservative LOL.
There are differences but they are not that important. Most computers have a bar for N2 loading and you can use that to dive them more conservatively by staying at shallow depths (15'-30') until it is back in the green before surfacing or by ascending to your saftey stop before it gets out of the green and into the yellow.
The most conservative I've seen now is the new Tusa IQ-800.
US Navy Tables say you can do a 60 foot for 60 minutes. Padi and Naui tables say a 60 for 55, Aeris, Sherwood, etc say 60 for 57. Suunto will give you a 60 for 48 and the Tusa is 60 for 45.

Hmm... That is interesting. Is that the same as for the IQ-700? I've been seriously considering an Apeks Quantum, but if it's even more conservative than a Suunto, maybe I'll reconsider.scubatoys:

Larry, you've really got me wondering about the IQ-700 now. I just looked in the manual for the Tusa IQ-700, Apeks Quantum and Dive Rite NiTek Duo and there are no NDL tables. Would you please post the NDLs for a few different depths? Thanks.Daryl Morse:
I just checked my Apek Duo and it will give you 47 mins at 60ft (18 m) on 21% O2 with safety factor 0
I must add that these times are based on a PO2 of 1.4 and is in the range of the last timeblock of PADI table where no safety stops are required.

Daryl Morse:
The 700 appears to be closer to the Suunto, It's the 800 that knocks of even a few more minutes. Also, since they are the same Seiko computer, I'd highly suggest intead of Apeks, or the other companys that carry them - go with Tusa. They toss in a free scratch protector, and they have the best customer service of any of the companies I deal with.
I'll check some other depth/times when I get in the shop later.

With all due respect, I would suggest getting certified before throwing several hundred dollars at a problem that you don't really understand. Once your class starts you'll realize that the tables really aren't that difficult. You will then be in a better position to decide what is the best way to spend your money.JD.Gattis:
