Diver (1)
New diver here, my wife and I are just finishing up our PADI OW and have scheduled a trip to Belize - we're also just getting started on our equipment purchases. We just bought a Suunto Gekko dive computer that we're hoping we can share to start out. Since we will be doing all of our diving together I suspect that while not ideal that this isn't too big a problem. Any things to be wary of or to take into account when sharing a computer with your dive partner? I plan to be conservative on the numbers to ensure there are absolutely no issues.

The answer to sharing a computer is absolutely NO from every agency and every manufacturer.

The above statement is about as true as a mask on the forehead indicating that you are a diver in distress. The OW standards for SDI requires at least one PDC for each buddy pair.
