Nah not worth the cost and the Perdix can only handle 2 TXs anyway.No advantage over spg on SM tanks.

With Helitrox, there's dives.He's well known. But how do you justify that statement since you only did an Advanced Nitrox course which is academic. The majority of the course was learnt in the Nitrox Diver course. The other problem, people suffer from xenophobia and don't trust foreign divers to train them. Just like shoppers are brainwashed into buying name brands.
I was saying how people prefer to be trained at home then go overseas to be trained. What CCR did you complete your course on? And did you recommend the CCR or the instructor?With Helitrox, there's dives.
Not sure what your xenophobia comment is about but Rubens is as Aussie as it gets!
Then one turns the dive, no different that a failed SPG. With proper planning, you should be able to lose ALL SPG at max penetration/depth/rock bottom, and complete the dive safely. I'd like to think you were taught this, but I'm deeply unsure.How do you define top technical instructors? Have you considered a battery failure on your computer would intensify not one problem but many if you had transmitters on every deco/stage/back gas tank.
I do understand this. You're the first to clarify it. I would quit diving if every SPG failed simultaneously.Then one turns the dive, no different that a failed SPG.

I call that information overload. You will not see any of it once an incident occurs. You will rely on instinct to survive.I like to have the transmitter because I can see the tank pressure on my dive computer. Basically on one glance to my Teric, I see everything I need to know. As you see, below:
Depth =132.7 feet
Tank pressure (TI) = 2580 psi
NDL = 3 min
Time to surface (TTS) = 9 min
Gas Time Remaining (GTR) >TTS (I forgot to turn it on at the time)
Water temperature = 78 F
Dive time = 6 min & 43 sec
Breathing Gas = EAN32
Home direction = green dot
North = Red arrow.
Without the transmitter, I would not know my TI, TTS, GTR which are calculated from SAC & TI.

No information overload for me. One glance, that’s all I need to do. No, pulling SPG to my face, pressing dive computer buttons to get the info. It’s all right there in a clear & bright display.I call that information overload. You will not see any of it once an incident occurs. You will rely on instinct to survive.
Air Integrated Transmitter:
You’re in a mixed dive team. One is using CCR the other two are using OC. As the boat is being positioned at the dive site, the battery on your dive computer fails. A quick thinking buddy hands over his back up computer. You breathe a sigh of relief. On the descent, you suddenly realize you have AI transmitters on all three deco tanks and one on your doubles.
