Dive Computer and Repetitive Dives

[AfterDark]

the computer will also miss a bunch of other stuff, beyond any sight-see it is not invited on. For example, it doesn't know your general health, how well you have been hydrating, how effective your circulatory system is. Also, it won't know what your BMI is. A lot of stuff can effect your susceptibility to getting bent, that is why the tables are modified from the Navy tables. How conservative do you want it?

Just an idle thought about getting DCS, not really trying to make a point in anyone direction (been reading about how the original charts were determined... kind of scary).

Without those scary tests the alalgorithm calculations used in PDCs would be even more guess work than they are now!
