Sorry - gotta strongly disagree - (respectfully, of course
)
Maybe its me, but I don't want an Oceanic - which is considered "liberal" - on my console, and a Suunto (very conservative - and yes, I know you can set them to be less so but they still are very conservative), for example, on my wrist.
I want my gear in sinc - I don't want to look at the Suunto and have it tell me I need 10 min's of deco when the Oceanic says I can go up - If I ignore the Suunto, it locks and is usless for 24 hours, negating the back up feature of the 2nd computer.
I may be overstating a little for the sake of the example, but not much - I owned a Suunto, and returned it after 10 dives (another reason to have good relationship w/ your LDS) - I know many love them, but just as many complain that when their buddy is "in the green" they need time before they can go up.
Lets see.....certainly not my intent, but did I open a can of worms w/ the LDS comment - or maybe conservative vs liberal computers - or maybe Suunto vs the others
