I think it's OK to rely on another divers computer with a couple of big IFs
1)IF you know what you are doing and
2)IF your profiles have been similar (not the same as identical!)
In the event my computer dies on a deco dive first backup would be my buddies computer. Backup to that backup would be tables and bottom timer.
Most everyone I dive with has the same computer .
Now if you are talking about same ocean buddies with wildly different profiles sharing computer info is not a good idea.
Amazingly enough some people don't even need computers!
