Why in the wold did you lump Seiko (TUSA, Dive Rite, Apeks, Cressi, etc. - at least their more recent offerings) in with Pelagic (Aeris, Oceanic)? When did these become 'the same OEM', and they certainly use two completely different algorithm families - variants of Buhlmann for the Seiko products, DSAT for the Pelagic products.

And, it's always much easier to be an art critic (me in this instance), than to be an artiste . . .

Oh, someone back up the line said those were from the same OEM. I wasn't sure. So, who makes all those?

...and did you over look my comment "To the best of my knowledge."

keep in mind that these guys are doing multi-gas, stage decompression dives
in 170 to 190 feet of water.

most recreational computers out there can't handle this sort of diving, and will
lock you out if you exceed certain parameters.

so... their list is NOT a reflection of recreational diving computers

Also, the list has not been updated in a while. I am sure that the newer generation Aladdin and Suunto would now be included. The requirement is that the computer will not lock out after multiple 30' dives at 180 ft, and if at all possible allow gas changes (specifically, deco on EAN75). Strangely, Bikini Divers will not allow diving on custom tables generated by e.g. V-Planner or GAP, at least not for "recreational" clients.

They do rent Nitek 3's, but I have seen several divers just using standard Aladdins, and following deco stops calculated for air.
