This is a lot of under weight. You should notice it very early in your dive. In fact, AL80 hold 6lb of air, you shouldn't be able to descent at all.

"I'm a Fish!" is over 5,000 dives. Something is confusing here?

Maybe so, but then this was posted in Advanced while the mistakes seem pretty elementary.I think that some people put that or "i Just do not log dives" or what ever it says because they do not want to be judged by the number or dives they have and would rather people listen to what they have to say. By putting that they feel that they are not lying. Besides, there is a 5000 - infinity setting.
I'm a fish or I just do not log dives should not imply anything other than the fact the poster does not want to disclose their number of dives or has not kept track. Nothing more or less.
He summary suggestions are pretty valid, altho learning a rental computer on site is not really likely. I've been known to strap my secondary dive computer to a boat pick bud's BC so that I can check it - easier than teaching it to someone without a manual. His first mistake was putting his in checked luggage instead of his roll-on or personal bag; I carry 60# of essentials that way and my own dive computers certainly are.
Seems like his other big problem was changing saltwater weighting from a 7 mil to no suit, plus a lighter BC perhaps. That's a big change if not thought out well, which I guess he tried and missed.
Well, buddies are responsible for each other. I carry my own pony, but I still want to know what a bud's air is now and then, and N2 loading. I got my second one after an experience with a boat pick bud with a rental computer who was clueless about what it said, so at least I am reading one that I know well when I read his.to the second bolded portion = WOW, you are much nicer to your buddies than I am, but then again I am probably just a gasshole. If you bounce into deco and do not know it, that is not my problem. Maybe I am just way off on that.
