Which do you think is less dangerous at 160ft? Open-circuit air or CCR trimix?

I dont care what it means to a triggered geriatric.

Hey, thanks for the idea, I just ordered this off Amazon. $12 bucks.

Warning beeps from your dive computer will get registered... sometime... later.

My shearwater Perdix does not have audio warnings. Not all DC's are the same

None of the people around you* (*you being anyone with audible alerts) wants to hear, on an other enjoyable dive:

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (depth alert)
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (NDL low)

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP ... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP <continues until back on boat>. (missed safety stop duration by 0.000001 seconds)

Worst part of diving around strangers on vacation

The better divers who pay attention do their DC don't need a babysitter. When I was in the Maldives doing deco dives other divers DC alarms were going off. Back on the dive boat the divers whose alarms were going off were telling me they could hear my DC alarm. When I told them it my Shearwater does not have audio alarms they were shocked. It was their own alarms going off and these divers did not even know. lol
