That makes even less sense lolYou, know the ones who never shut up or maybe “lm speaking about rec(reational) divers.
Did the talking rec divers comment mean that tec divers shouldn't use transmitters?

No not at all, it was an attempt to avoid that passionate path and sticking to the subject.That makes even less sense lol

Ok, looks like I'm not going to get a straight answer from you so I'll leave it there.No not at all, it was an attempt to avoid that passionate path and sticking to the subject.
Hi @Chris H
I had not heard of a G3, do you have any references? What do you know about it, will it run Buhlmann and GF like the HUD?
By the way spell check messed with the message and I didn’t catch it, the comma was the last part I missed, it shouldn’t be there.That makes even less sense lol

Don’t know details, only know test divers.Hi @Chris H

I have a Suunto Eon Steel and I got it because I could finally read the numbers on the computer clearly and they were in color. Since that time, now I have discovered other computers that do the same. The big reason why I would not buy it at this point in time is that it locked out on me during my last dive of my last dive trip. this means is that as far as you are concerned, the computer is broken and will not give you any readings at all other than to say that it is locked. It was locked for 48 hours and it was only after the lockout ended that is started to do the countdown for me to get on the airplane. It turned out that by the time the Suunto said that I could get on the airplane, I had already flown from the island to MIA, stayed overnight in MIA, got on the plane to LAX, took a cab home and had already been home for a while before it told me I could get on the airplane. I would definitely NOT buy this again, but I already have a bunch of money sunk into it.Neither run Buhlmann GF out of the box, although I think it is, or will be, available as an option for some of the Suuntos. The G2 has a tissue loading graph with 16 compartments, similar to Buhlmann, but it's impossible to say how they derive it. They both have proprietary adjustments for conservatism. "Lockouts" refer to the computer's behavior if you ignore its recommendations, usually regarding mandatory deco. Whereas Shearwaters and a few others will complain vigorously and display prominent warning messages, they will continue to work and recalculate the stops required to get you out of the water safely. Sunntos, G2s, and most recreational computers will simply stop functioning, or switch to gauge mode, for some period of time, usually 24 hours. My guess is that in the early days of dive computers the simplified deco models they had to run couldn't deal with these issues any other way and the feature was retained for liability reasons, but that's just speculation.
