H2Andy:you keep switching issues on me.
diving nitrox on a computer is just as safe as diving with tables or the math.
show me how that is not true.
so far, not one of you guys can show me that. you just keep shifting the argument
to other areas.
One more time, Andy...
If the computer supplies NDL/MOD/CNS information due to malfunction or user error, without at least a modicum of understanding about the underlying tables/math, you might not notice and continue on your merry way following the bouncing dot. Electronics underwater can malfunction.
I don't believe anyone actually said that, armed with the knowledge that a nitrox class *should* provide you, diving a computer is dangerous, just that without that knowledge, the computer could trick you just like Manbearpig would before he lured you into the Cave of Wonders and ate you alive.
