Tech Computers

Since tech diving involves switching gas sources an AI computer is a waste of time. Unless it can track all possible gas supplies.

Hey computers now are coming out with more and more wireless transmitters every day.
No reason why you could not have a transmitter on your back gas,one on each of your deco bottles,as well as transmitters all over your buddys gear so you can check his gas as well.After all that would be SO much safer.

I am sure dive store operators all over the world are salivating at the thought of it.

So you are not lining up for the Oceanic DataMask........... ....its a backup mask and dive computer all in one!

You will always hear about running tables with a BT (with or without avg depth tracking). While it is very important to be able to run RT tables along a BT, it is not the fulcrum of tech diving.

Computers give you up to the second information on gas loading and suggested deco obligations. The fact that a computer can do this many times per second (okay, maybe it only refreshes the info on the GUI every 30 seconds) is a benefit we can leverage. Especially where the dive is long, has a 'jagged edge' profile and generally is tasking (deep, wreck, cave, DPV - or any combination hereof) a computer can help with decompression insight.

But my personal advise is to make sure you can run, and learn how to in depth, tables and BT before you even go to computers and deco. If ever you have to fall back to that, it should not be an emergency learning curve. Also practice runnig RT tables regularly.

You can theoretically do all dives with a BT and some tables, but computers can help make life easier.
