Can’t imagine anyone would be able to tell you why, given that Peregrines don’t cost that much.$170 for a perfectly good recreational computer with big enough numbers to read for old people. Tell me why he needs to spend $675 on a Shearwater Peregrine.

He's limited on gas, not NDL and is an occasional older cruise ship diver. The algorithm means nothing to him.

I am saying that I have found dives, as a whole, where I experienced narcosis to be more fatiguing than similar dives where I didn't experience it.
I've appeared to have opened a can of worms...LOL
I really appreciate all the feedback I've gotten. It's very interesting.
What I've decided to do is...
A. pick up a cheap dive computer
B. Continue to dive my OW dives on cruises, which are typically fairly short (35-45 mins) and not too deep (<60')
C. Look into getting nitrox if/when i decide to get more into diving and/or join a dive club if we decide to spend the winters in Florida next year.

Deep breathing is different than hyper ventilating.

Something that I had noticed while working boats over the years, while in school, was that, for a sport that required some strenuous activity and, at the very least, some upper body strength, scuba also seems to attract some of the least physically fit people of most any popular pursuit that I have ever seen; and it was not uncommon to see divers sporting thirty-plus pound weight-belts; a fair share of highly-custom suits; an all-too common incapability of standing from a bench seat while fitted with gear; and we had clear instructions to keep a close eye on each of them.
Almost to a one, those who claimed the greatest benefit from nitrox use, usually fell into that large and in charge category; and perhaps there was something to said for that, in terms of a potential benefit?
I have personally used nitrox since it first became widely available, back in the early 1990s, and had noticed little to no discernible difference between EAN use and that of air -- and typically only use it, nowadays, while spending the lion's share of time below 20-30 meters, but find it an utter waste on shallow repetitive dives.
More often than not, I still mostly dive with air, in Northern California, where it is quite easy to find yourself well below nitrox depths . . .
