Yes, but they are different limits. If all other risk factors are held constant, the younger, fitter diver can safely dive closer to an objective (table, computer) limit. Although I keep pretty fit, 50 is still 50 in many respects, so I take a dive or two off in the middle of a dive week these days.

I don't find my Suunto D9 (set to 50% RGBM) unduly limiting on a liveaboard trip. I have never had any problems with pairing or transmission lapses in ~4 years and ~300 dives. The original battery is still going strong.


I think you may have missed my point. In the real world, those "other risk factors" you refer to cannot be kept constant. They are called "variables" for a reason and individual susceptibility varies greatly. That is why conservatism is required in decompression algorithms - to keep you from getting bent.
