if your doing mostly flat shallow water dives a computer is only slightly beneficial.
Slightly beneficial? Did you read earlier posts?
If you dive a ledge or something that you change depth a bit it becomes more beneficial. if you have a comp that does nitrox also and dive nitrox it is even more beneficial.
What you mean to say is that the computer provides the greatest immediate benefit when conducting multi-level dives...and that it has a myriad of benefits when using nitrox. However, even on a square profile air dive, if used correctly, it provides a wealth of information that can substantially increase your awareness and safety in the water.
the fact alot of them log dives and can transfer to a computer is only a convenience thing
...and a valuable education thing.
and the warnings for ascent rate, time low, air low, and monitor surface interval are all kinda nice for adding to the safety aspect
Well, it is kinda nice not to get DCS......
but if you have another diver using your comp while your on your surface interval it screws up the computer so warnings come up and it gets annoying
Then you would be a drooling retard. You don't do this. You never do this. Never do this. Stop doing this. Don't share computers. Read the manual. Re-take your Open Water course. Quit diving. Get a lobotomy. Seek counselling.
Basically....
Sharing computers is contrary to every instruction you have ever been given about diving with a dive computer. To do so is idiocy and people who act that way should not be allowed in the water.
