I just came back from diving in Bermuda. There was a couple on the boat that "seemed" pretty competent. I had a brief chat with the wife on the ride out to the dive site. She saw that I used two computers and told me that she did not trust them and preferred tables. My dive was to max 60 ft for about an hour. She surfaced with her husband before us. No issues. Second dive was shallower; BT about 70 mins. But the bottom terrain was very "up and down" and in order to remain below the enormous surges, one had to navigate up and down a lot. My profile looked like a very ragged sawtooth Both my computers showed NDLs were not even close. She surfaced after me and my buddy. Apparently she had become "confused" about her tables/planning. End result: Mild DCS and six rides (so far) to the local chamber for her.
I suspect that it's just much easier to constantly monitor your NDLs with a computer than tables. It was almost impossible to stay at a constant or "planned" depth on this dive. How do table divers accomplish this?
