Righto, I'm dive computerless as of monday. Following my (very cold) stint in Gildy, I surfaced to mention in passing to Rich Walker that my bottom timer seemed a lot easier to read than the computer....nice and uncluttered etc etc. Needless to say he just grinned, saying nothing.
Student costs (usually liquid based), a very lovely (albeit somewhat expensive) girlfriend and lack of time/enthusiasm for a job meant that I decided to sell of my computer for a reasonable price to one of the dive club bods here.
The result is that now I'm back onto table diving or the like. What I'm looking for is some suggestions on the ways people would suggest running 'min-deco' single gas (nitrox 32 usually) dives.
I've had it suggested (as a rough guide) to use the EAD of 32% (approx 80% of depth), add it to your bottom time and if they come out as 50 or less you are still in no/min deco 'limits'. This makes sense to me and I would tend to fly things a little with regards to ascents and stops/pauses etc. Any suggestions for the 'best' way to add stops into the profile should I feel I've gone over any limits (eg. start deep, add them at 6m/3m etc?).
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Pete
