I usually do multiple dives per day on sites I've never been to, so depths and times are educated guesses at best and variable. Plus the captain may change sites completely based on weather conditions so I like to roll with the punches. I really don't want to start bringing a desktop/laptop computer to make adjustments in dive plan, do I?
I am going to start cutting tables to cross reference to my computer to see if I'm doing adequate hang times or unnecessarily long ones. What I'm seeing so far is that these computers are based on Naui/Padi a little less than Navy tables. I don't think the computers that I use are very aggressive but I did add a bit of a buffer by off gassing on 40% EAN.
