m'eh... grimm stories. yeah, I plan on keeping my current computer. It's about as basic as it gets - oceanic datapro 100 - but it does the job. nice big nitrogen graph and ascent rate.

Old school here, still have most of my gear from the eighties, rarely sport dive now, no partner. All of my diving is boat cleaning now, for that I use a hookah rig, 25 foot hose on a dockside tank.

Just FYI, when I was transporting bent civilian divers by helo for the Navy the majority were using nitrox and all were using computers. Just sayin...

At the time had the navy made a switch over to computers? Do/did their divers have a choice?
Seems like you are making a point which is fair but w/o additional facts and details it's hard to judge the value of your point. Are you suggesting there's an inherent problem with computers?
Navy diving != recreational diving.
Hell I'm not at all interested in technical diving. but if I'm going to spend thousands of dollars to visit some exotic tropical place on this planet I'd like to maximize my bottom time. Computers give recreational divers that. Dive tables do not.
People make mistakes both with how they use their computers as well as how they figure out where they are on their dive table. And about the last thing I'd ever want to do is try and do dive table calcs at 120' when I'm narc'd.
by chance you wouldn't be the doc that runs the decomp tank in Denver would you?

I like my Zeagle BCD. Am off to Sulawesi in 2 weeks to dive Bunaken.
I want to go to Komodo some day but need to get more experience. Check out this video:

I was in the Maldives last year. We did one reef, there was an 18 foot Mama Shark in a grotto pumping out babies. The little sharks were all over like mosquitoes. Never guite saw the like.

Just press the photo button again eastside. Each time you do it generates a new code for the photo you pick.

I have the Concept II which has been discontinued. The ranger looks similar and seems like a good deal. If you ever get down to the south pacific, New Zealand and Fiji are incredible dive spots and though I haven't been to Australia, The great barrier reef.
