My back up computers are not the same.<rolls eyes>
That’s why your primary and backup computers are the same. And the number of people who run transmitters on their deco bottles is probably quite small.

Thank you. Just getting clarification for other would be technical divers that rave about transmitters. Divers do use cheap batteries of various quality. My point is you can ruin an expensive dive if you rely on transmitters.As Marie13 has pointed out the is very unrealistic situation.
If your doing a dive that requires 3 deco tanks then is a pretty serious dive. Either very deep, very long bottom time, or very far penetration. This would required fairly extensive training and at this level of diving I can not think of anyone who would have transmitters on all 3 deco tanks. Yes they might have one on there back gas but they would also have an SPG. Also at this level of diving most people are running shearwater platforms and these only support 2 transmitters anyways.
But lets give them the benefit of the doubt and say there running a Ratio or Garmin or something and you do have 4 transmitters hooked up. First of all at this level of diving you would do a pre-dive check of your gear in the morning be for even getting on the boat and part of this would be check battery levels especially if your on CC and when diving CC I every agency and every unit I can think of checking electronics is part of your pre-dive check. So you should never have a dead batter to begin with. Next if you did skip this part (which at this level of dive is already a big no no) once you did discover your computer is dead you would call the dive. You buddy would never give you his backup computer, now he would not have a backup computer.
No mistake. I carry wetnotes.Your mistake, then.
You do you. Some of us like our technology.
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.
