Whatcha need help with on it?

 

[Captain CaveMan]

i called up my instructor and he gave me a crash corse on it. he ancered all of my questions on it.. wow how did i ever dive with out one.

its my first computer and i made it a lot harder than it is.
i didnt understand how to do multi dives with it. but i found out all i have to do is get back into the water and it refigures my dive time for me.
thanks for the help if i have any good questions i will post them. thanks again.
i want to dive who wants to go with..

 

[teknitroxdiver]

Yeah they're handy for that. However, if you 'just hop back in and it refigures', you don't have a preexisting knowledge of what kind of time limits you're looking at, so you might hop in a second time after one dive to 90', only to find that after 10 minutes you're out of NDL time. Also since that thing is electronic, it can fail. Thus, it's a good idea always to at least take a look at the tables before each dive...this way, you know if your computer is BSing you, and know what to do if it fails.

 

[Captain CaveMan]

i always dive useing the dive table and i keep it on me when we go. but good idea i will check my milti dives to make sure. keep saftey first my #1 rule

 

[teknitroxdiver]

That's a good rule to have as #1....tends to keep you alive longer.
