This computer BS has got to stop. Unless you are certified by the only agency that only does OW certs only with computers you do not have to have a computer to make a dive! All you need is a max depth depth gauge, timer/dive watch and tables!
If a buddy team dives with one computer, the non computer diver is running a tables profile! If you are a real buddy team as some define it here, both divers ascend when the plan is complete. On many boats, the team can wave goodbye at the ascent line and the tables diver must ascend when the tables plan is complete!
IMHO, Beginning divers should spend their money diving, not on $2000 of fancy gear. By the time you spend $2000 on diving you might know what gear you actually want/need!
