I have a question that I was hoping somebody could help answer. I currently have a Suunto which everyone knows runs a pretty conservative algorithm. I know the algorithm well and I know what I can do to minimize the RGBM "penalties". I'm fairly happy with my computer.
Having said that, the new OLED computers are appealing and most seem to be running Buhlmann with GF's, which I don't know a lot about. I'm strictly a recreational diver staying within ndl's. Looking at the ndl times for the petrel (40/85 - medium conservatism) and deep black (30/85 - low conservatism) it shows less time at say 100 feet on a first dive on air (10 minutes vs 17 on my Suunto).
My question is simple, for recreational diving within ndl's, will the petrel or xdeep be less or more conservative than my Suunto for repetitive or multi-day diving? Dive #1 seems to show the Suunto as less conservative.
Thanks
