useful. It IS good that you use the tables because the are so rediculously conservative but they do not allow for variations of depth and time. computers also tend to be more accurate than humans at doing precise calculations BUT not to worry, they are still all relatively conservative!
Some are less conservative but even the least is still well within limits. You should keep in mind that the computer should be used to AUGMENT your own calculations and not to be your sole source of safety information.
Suunto Mosquito is the best yet.
