So if you're feeling great, having fun, and your contraption is telling you that you currently have zero heartbeats per minute......should you abort the dive?
I just think that there's gotta be a balance between too much or too little technology. I remember when SPG's took the place of J-Valves. Then we got computers to take the place of tables.... WOW..... I still have three awesome 20 year old Palagic computer pucks that work perfectly! As a boater, I also remember when dead reckoning, charts and compass were replaced by Loran C....... and then we got GPS and that was the Cats Pajama's!!!! But what has always stuck with me is that having a basic compass and charts and the knowledge to use them will always be with me if needed.
What I'm getting at is that basic training, instincts and experience are the most important factors in diving......in my humble opinion.
Hey.......maybe someday someone will invent and promote the electric fork so folks don't need to go through the hassle and uncertainty of eating manually. !!!! Just don't put your eye out!
