[Scared Silly]

Oceanic Versa Pro Dive Air / Nitrox Computer with clip retractor and new battery.

A nice little air / nitrox computer great backup or loaner. Buttons are firm but easy to press. I programed the computer with ease this morning. The manual can be found here.

Shown activated in water (sorry for the upside down image).

$85 Shipped.

What does this mean?

A creative way to bump the thread.

Hmmm. I thought it might refer to the inadequacy of the Versa Pro as a deco computer. Inordinately long deco times, especially on repetitive dives.

No but some computers, including this one have a feature that reverts to 50% nitrox for repetitive dives. Which has confused many a diver. Fortunately, it can be turned off. Which I did when programming it this morning.

Yes, I had one. Was caught (ONCE!) by that stupid default. I sold mine when I started AN/DP long ago due to its deco times. One dive with my instructor where I had 30 mins of deco and he had 3 mins was enough. it was a repetitive dive; the first dive also had different times between he and I but acceptable.
It was a great computer for rec diving! Easy to use, easy to read.

I have been diving an Oceanic computer running DSAT since 2002, 2400 dives. About 4-5% of my dives are light deco, generally <10 minutes. I have also been diving a computer running Buhlmann since 2016, a Dive Rite Nitek Q until 2019 and then a Shearwater Teric. Both of these computers have run a GF high of 95. The NDLs are generally reasonably well matched, as are the deco times. For no stop dives, the more conservative computer controls the dive. For deco dives, I clear one or both of the computers. Since 2019, I have used SurfGF to dictate my final ascent.

First dive is deco, or repetitive, or both?

Hi @tursiops

I have not kept track of which dive(s) in a day were light deco vs. no stop. Most of these dives have been in Florida where I generally do 2-4 dives per day. I would imagine that more of the deco dives were done as a repetitive dive as opposed to first dive. I only rarely do more than a single deco dive per day. Most of these dives have a relatively short surface interval of about 45 minutes between dive 1 and 2 or dive 3 and 4, with a longer lunch break surface interval of a couple hours between dives 2 and 3.

It would not be surprising to me if DSAT and Buhlmann behaved differently than I have observed with my simple light deco vs. considerably longer deco times/gas switching... as you likely did in AN/DP. I was only sharing my own specific, limited experience.
