Safety or profit?

[MikeFerrara]

The seat belt analogy fails because seat belts make you safer. But using a table should be safter then using a computer because the table is more conservative. I think the real problem is "vacation divers" these are people who dive only on a once a year vacation and have rather rusty skills and may have forgotten how to use a dive table. The operators may have fund that many of their customers don't know how to use a dive table so it is simpler to required them to hacve a computer.

No doubt, "vacation divers" suffer all sorts of skill deficiencies but I won't be paying any one who tries to make that my problem. LOL

I use a computer because it gives me more bottom time. I almost never do a square profile

A computer doesn't "give" you bottom time. It's simply one tool that can be used in planning the decompression aspects of a dive. There are others. Most of my dives are multilevel dives and I get plenty of bottom time but I don't use a computer.
