question for aeris: algorithms and profiles of elite t3 and a100 as back up

[xrcjdx]

i use an elite t3 as a primary computer. it uses the modified haldanean algorithm for calculations. i do not use the conservative setting. i plan to purchase an a100 for use as a back-up on an upcoming trip to philippines, and most critically on a tubbataha live aboard. it does not use the modified haldanean, but apparently the pelagic dsat is the least conservative of its dual algorithms.

question for doug/aeris, or anyone with the expertise to answer: will my dive profiles match reasonably closely by using a nonconservative modified haldanean on the t3 paired with a nonconservative pelagic dsat on the a100, or would you recommend another setting to either/both of the computers so they closely match? (i assume that the air integrated t3 will give me a more accurate picture, and the profiles will not perfectly match even under the best of scenarios.)

The T3 does in fact use the Pelagic DSAT algorithm basis - the A100 with Dual Algorithm set for Pelagic DSAT will be a perfect backup.

thanks, doug! i did not realize they were one and the same.
