What kind of computer?

Have a look at the Uwatec range, they are the best on the market

Sydney_Diver,

Were is it written that UWATEC is the best?

My vote is for Suunto. They are conservative and the display is EASY to read.

Cochran Commander Nitrox and Uwatec bottom timer on PVC - left arm, USD Matrix in console with SPG clipped to harness.

I use a air integrated Genesis on a cable clipped to my B.C., there is also a compass on the mount.

So I'm getting the feeling that noone is using the RDP anymore after they get certified. Am I right on this?

If so, how soon after you started diving did you purchase a computer?

 

[Finesse]

I use both....but record what the computer has to say....I feel its a good idea to keep sharp with the tables.
If you use Nitrox/take the course you'll be glad you did....More tables and calculations and….Not all computers are nitrox ready....

Oh yeah Cobra AI with a compass

I use one for a coaster so I don't leave a wet ring on the mahogany end table by my reading lamp. I find it works better than the older version based on the Navy tables since it is wider.

For diving I have a Suunto Stinger... it lives in gauge mode and can work as a count up timer as well as bottom timer and depth gauge.

...I don't use a computer as a computer... I have a fairly nice one that I only use as a depth gauge/bottom timer.... it is too small to use as a coaster.

For recreational dives I use profiling and the 120 mnemonic.

For deco dives I use PC generated tables based on air but we don't use air.

Dive computers rot your brain. ut:

You could get along nicely with the RDP, a bottom timer and a depth gauge. No computer needed. And your non-computer can even be nitrox capable.

Since we always dive EAN32 for our recreational dives I can reduce my profile by 20%... or not... thus adding in either more time or more safety margin.

You could do the same with Nitrox tables.
