I know I had gotten into deco a couple of times with the Zoops when my air consumption was greater than it is now. I haven't had a problem since, and my air consumption is better
This sounds backwards.

I have used 4 different computers.
Shearwayer perdix
Mares quad
Suunto zoop
Dive rite ni tek 3
I’ve been using a combinationsof perdix/mares quad; quad/zoop, and perdix/ni tek and am at my wits end.
I’m buying a second perdix and callingbit a day, the headache of adjusting conservatism, computers putting me in “time out” and the struggle of switching gasses on different computers is not worth the money saved, or the headache of showing a worried, teenage, divemaster that you complete you obligation based on you plan and your primary computer, when you come out and the second is beeping like hell.
Interesting. I used to dive with a Suunto primary and backup. My partner always has and still continues to do so. After a certain number of back to back dives over a week's time (4-5 a day), the NDL started catching up with him on his Suunto even on the most liberal setting and while I was only on medium for my Perdix. Call me stupid for asking this, but I don't see how setting it to 21% nitrox vs air really changes how liberal or conservative the computer will be...Bueller? Anyone care to explain this one to me?
Thanks.
