New Aqualung Flagship Full Color Dive Computer

Computer lock outs. Unless you're engaged in multigas deco it's a non issue.

A computer will only lock you out if you've blown through your deco. If you're just on back gas and have gone into deco without the gas (or time) to honour the obligation - well it's your own fault.

A computer will lock you out out if it thinks you've blown through your deco. I expect user error accounts for more lock outs than actual omitted deco. Certainly no fun for a user on an expensive multi-day trip.

User errors will be negligently going into deco, not understanding what their computer is telling them and getting out of the water as though its just NDL

So, these "unfortunate" users could:

1. RTFM
2 Dive with their limits or experience.
3. put down $1000 on a high end computer as "An equipment solution to a skills problem"

You'll note I have no sympathy for computer lock outs caused by "accidental deco"

Is that sternness really properly targeted?

If somebody does that, is it because they willfully ignored their training? Because they forgot their training? Or is it because they had poor/inadequate training and a lack of empathy would be kind of like having no sympathy for a toddler who puts their hand onto a hot stove burner? I.e. you can't blame them because they really didn't know any better?

Really, in any given case, I imagine it could be any of the above.

From what I have seen, my limited experience suggests that it is most often a combo of distant, foggy memories of their training combined with not knowing any better, piled on top of an industry that really does almost everything it can to encourage people to rely on a Pro when they dive, instead of being self-sufficient - an industry with many Pros that maybe really should not be "pros".

Unlike a toddler, Adult Scuba divers should know better and should accept personal responsibility.

If you're going to strap on scuba gear then there are some basics you need to understand and remember. If unsure ask or refresh.

But still people strap on a computer with no knowledge of what the numbers mean. Or go on vacations but are too cheap to book a refresher

So if they get forced to sit on the bench for 48 hrs - whose fault is that?

Hey, I don't think you can complain for $120...

Darwin does and the legal systems everywhere do as well. They even have a Latin name for it: ignorantia juris. Ignorance is not an excuse, merely an explanation.

Really? I thought it was quite normal for legal systems to blame an instructor. Particularly if the instruction received was not up to par...
