Most recreational diving can be done without either of the tools everyone is batting about. You dive an aluminum 80 cu ft cylinder, with a mask, fins, and a simple regulator and a system to let you know that the cylinder is running low, and walla! you are SCUBA diving.
Tables and computers are useless clutter that the majority of vacation and weekend divers don't comprehend, but make great sales items. So lets dismiss them because they are just marketing gimicks for dive stores to pad their profits with.
We all know you can't exceed the limits of no-decompression diving as long as you only dive with the industry standard of the 80 cu ft aluminum wonder. Better yet sell your student steel 72's, they will be back for air fills more often. So why bother a new diving student with the inconvenient struggle of learning the theory of diving physiology through working a dive table or bothering with an inconveniently expensive computer. Jacques never used either one and he managed to successfuly SCUBA dive for many years.
BTY NetDoc, your neckless looks like hammered dog s**t. Very amaturish. I can't belive you posted a picture. I would never be seen wearing such a neanderthalic trinket.
