No deco time proximity.

?

I never told anyone what to do and why would I? They can dive how they want. Deco theory doesn’t have to be complicated technical stuff, my understanding is that it can be what time you have at x depth, breathing x gas and if you go past that, how much deco you have.

Got it. You really don't know what your own strongly stated advice means.

I mean what follows as sincere advice of my own.

When I first started in technical diving, I learned to follow a number of practices without really understanding why. I would be pretty strongly chastised for not doing something a certain way. Eventually I got some training from a couple other agencies, and I continued with the practices I had learned earlier. In most cases, that was not a problem, but in some cases, the people training me would ask me why I did it a certain way, and I honestly didn't know. I had been told I MUST do it that way because I had been told I must. In one of those cases, I only recently learned why I had been told to do it as I had, and I thought the rationale was absurd.

So my advice is to keep an open mind and don't simply repeat phrases you hear and especially don't make strong advice statements unless you truly understand and can explain why what you are saying is true.

I said what I said because it promotes the thinking diver that’s not dependent on a computer and doesn’t just listen to what their computer is saying blindly. I’m speaking for myself when I say that I want to not be in the camp that can’t execute a dive because they don’t have a dc. That’s just silly.

You are clearly being agitated or insulted by my posts and I see no clear reason why.

It’s good not to be dependent on computers.

When I'm at 30m I trust my computer a lot more than I trust myself. My computer's algorithm may have some kind of weakness, but at least it doesn't have the same propensity for major f***ups as I have when I'm beginning to get narked.

If that means that I'm "dependent on computers" I can live very well with that.

*Too* dependent.

It’s easy to criticise every little thing that someone says no matter who you are.

 

[EireDiver606]

I have to agree with @boulderjohn here dude. You make a lot of big statements about stuff that you clearly don’t have a full understanding of.

All I said was that I don’t think you should be too dependent on computers and the greatest thing is between your ears. I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong? Please explain what big statements I’m talking about that i don’t understand fully.

 

[Storker]

*Too* dependent.

Still. My computer thinks just as well at 3.16 bar pPN2 as it does at 0.79 bar pPN2. I don't. I know I don't. Your (apparently) preferred agency strongly discourages breathing pPN2 approaching 3.16 bar (EAN32 down to 30m, trimix deeper). Think about that and your statement about being dependent on a computer.

I was speaking independently. It’s my opinion. I don’t even dive with GUE people. I’m getting criticized on everything I post for no reason, this is ridiculous.

Allow me to disagree. As far as I can see, you're getting criticized on the content of what you're posting. Which to me is fair game. Because that's basically the point of arguing on the internet.

There might be a common denominator there...
