I am probably way overthinking this....
Setup:
I just bought the Perdix AI. It will replace my Oceanic OC1. I plan on carrying the OC1 as a backup.
My dive buddy (18 yr old son) is a new diver and he has the Oceanic Veo 3.0.
100% of our rec diving is in warm Caribbean waters (Cozumel, Grand Cayman, etc). We will be in Cozumel next week for 8 days and have 6 2-tank dives planned. Maybe a night dive as well.
We do not push NDL's.
We use EAN32/PPO 1.4.
Question: The Perdix AI uses the Buhlmann ZH-L16C with 3 adjustable GFs and the Oceanic's are set to Pelagic DSAT. From what I have read, the Oceanic's Pelagic DSAT and the Perdix AI- set to GF of "LOW 45/95" - should be just about the same, give or take 3-7 min's NDL (Perdix AI with less NDL time) depending upon depth. While I am not too concerned with a 3 minute variance in NDL, 5-7 does give me pause for concern. Again, we do not push NDL's. What options or suggestion are available besides buying my son a Perdix DC? What other concerns are there using different algorithms with your buddy diver? (aside from always being the one to have to come up first).
Am I overthinking this??
