I dive most weekends from April to November (plus trips throughout the year) and I'm starting to get very annoyed with my Cobra's conservatism. I'm 52, in great shape, don't smoke, rarely drink, etc, etc and so have my Cobra set to the most liberal setting. Nonetheless, I find I'm constantly pushing the envelope, often entering into mild deco just to keep up with my fellow divers.
A few weeks ago, my quick release blew an o-ring and I rented one of those little wrist-mount Oceanics. Good God! It allowed me gobs more no-deco time!~~Then this past weekend I compared readings with my dive bud who was also wearing an Oceanic. After a 25-minute, 110 foot wreck dive and a 45-minute S.I., my computer's plan mode allowed 45 minutes at 40 feet while hers read and hour and a half!
Is my Cobra dying? Can the software be altered by the manufacturer? I love the computer for its versatility, compactness and comfort (-plus, of course, it's air-integrated). But it may be time for a change. Whaddya think?
Thanks,
