Where Is Your GF?

[Dr Simon Mitchell]

Dunno,anybody know the GF defaults on a EDGE ?

Probably 100/100 or close to it! Seriously, do you still have one that works?! Brilliant! No need for weights. When they came out, if you had one, you were the coolest diver in the world.

Yep! Mine still works!

Yessir,probly a dozen and as many Skinny Dippers,Marathons and Sherwood Sigmas.Only way I can do 5 to 7 dives a day past 120' without spending 8 hours in deco. The EDGE takes close to 2 pounds off my needed weight but my eyes are getting weaker and the numbers are smaller than the others.

That seems about right!

For fun, I recently dove my Edge (yes it still works!) alongside my Perdix (30% EAN, GF 45/75). Bottom time on the edge (air) was pretty close to the 30% nitrox on the Perdix!

The Orca is close to DSAT, a little more conservative. DSAT tracks roughly to a GF hi around 95. Of course this is just a clean 1st dive, not repetitive

So...accounting for the nitrox, that means the GF's were up from there on air. Extrapolating from Multi-Deco, I get Edge GFs of 80/90. Whaddya think, @Dr Simon Mitchell ?

The Edge is quite liberal when it comes to repetitive dives. Interestingly, I seem to recall that the manual indicated that the algorithm was never tested beyond two dives per day. Back in the 90s I certainly tested that algorithm well beyond that. I found the limits (for me) as I got bent.

It is ridiculously liberal on repetitive dives. From 120' to 180' you don't run into slow tissue delay problems until dive 4 or 5 .You can get 7 dives in on a long day.If you try to use it on fewer but longer dives deep you will get bent soon,seen that happen all too often.
I really do need to run it with another computer in gage mode to download my RTs .
