@scubadada- Sir, I am using a Atmos Mission One. I changed the conservatism to the lowest setting to see if I could get my computers dive planner to match the NDL of my SSI dive tables. My instructor taught me to use tables and they were safe. I was taught to plan my dive and dive my plan. However during my Deep Dive Cert class I noticed my computer in dive plan mode would say my NDL was less then my tables stated. So if I plan my dive and use the tables NDL then my computer would alert stating I now need a deco stop which I didn't actually need according to my tables. So I started looking for a computer that would keep me from losing so much dive time. Like I said, I lose 8 minutes on the 90ft dive. SSI says 25 minutes, computer states 17 (As shown in your graph). If I paid a lot of money to go somewhere and dive a certain cool wreck or wall, I surely don't want to lose 8 minutes on a dive. At 100 ft I lose 7 minutes. To me this is not acceptable performance of a dive computer. But then I found that most computers are to conservative. However, I was told the Teric might not be. Waiting on the final email from the rep. So, all of that made me wonder if the computers make a no deco stop (Rec dive) dive to short, they must also be making Tech dives shorter then need be (Could be wrong, don't have deco experience). I want to eventually do 330ft wall dives when I get enough experience under my belt.
I keep hearing the tables are to aggressive. They have been used for decades, don't understand that comment. Of course your still going to have some people get the bends because the tables are a approximation and some peoples bodies might not be able to handle them. I haven't had any issues using the tables. I read the tables were modified to meet the needs of MOST people. People need to judge for themselves. Also, People state no one square dives. Probably mostly true but the square dive profile is basically your worst case scenario dive (You absorb the most Nitrogen). If your multi level diving your absorbing less nitrogen so you are technically already being more conservative with your diving and the need for a computer to be conservative on top of that seems to be to limiting of my dive time. I didn't realize my question was so technical. I just wanted some conformity between my tables and my computer to remain safe. With the computers being programed differently so they don't correspond with the tables a new diver can't check them against each other which I see as unsafe and computers should be sold as corresponding to agency tables. (With the ability for the conservatism to be customized higher if the diver wants). I don't have my computer with me so I can't say what the conservative numbers are right now.
