Two on a computer

[Walter]

Ari,

I have to disagree. If my buddy doesn't have a computer, my computer becomes a depth gauge/bottom timer and we are both diving tables. It's the only safe approach.

I am diving tables. I was just refering to the fact that diving together doing the same prifile will give a good idea about your buddy's condition.

We have on many occassions and as long as the computer was on the deepest diver it didn't seem to be a problem...

I agree Uncle I have dived many times with someone who does not own a computer and we table the dive and have the non D/C diver shallower than the D/C diver. 4 this type of diving the tables are the main plan with the D/C as a back up

That was actually on many occasions in the past... we don't do that anymore.... and this last little episode where I forgot my Stinger needs explaining too. We were diving at a very familiar site and I know the depth at each location there... I didn't need a depth gauge for that since the bottom was already *marked* in my mind for depth.... as was the slope leading back up to the point of entry. Time is another thing... but I can usually get very close by looking at my SPG... I was two minutes of by the end of the dive.

I do not recommend that you practice two divers to one computer... not do I recommend that you dive without each diver having a timing device and a depth gauge.

Scuba446,

It is possible for me to have the exact same profile as my buddy only if I concentrate on that to the exclusion of all other goals. That means I won't be taking pictures, I won't be sight seeing, I won't do anything except concentrate on my buddy's every move. I will never be more than a few inches away at any time.

You could use rope to lash yourself to your buddy's body and arms and legs so you move as one unit.ut:

Raviepoo,
Can I be your Buddy??

Friggincold, if you're thinking what I THINK you're thinking, there wouldn't be enough slack to allow sufficient friction.
