I have a Sherwood Insight dive computer (which is nitrox compatible) that I recently purchased and I'm in the process of getting nitrox certified - after which I'm going on a two tank boat dive with my local dive shop on a club dive. The first dive is deep, second shallow and since nitrox tanks are extra, I will dive nitrox the first dive then air the second....
My question is, can the Sherwood Insight dive computer store the info for the first dive as nitrox then go to air the second dive and still take into account your nitrogen levels and time limits based on your profile from the first dive? Or do I need to dive nitrox on an air profile the whole day? The owner's manual does not seem to mention this situation, at least not that I've seen so far and I've read it pretty much cover to cover.
I'm going to be using my nitrox cert on the Star Dancer in Papua New Guinea this April so I'll be diving nitrox every dive on the same blend then so I won't have to reset it each dive. I don't know how often I'll use nitrox at home since not that many people dive nitrox during club dives, but I figure it'll be a good cert to have for the knowledge and for use during travel...
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
