"Twice as many breaths is does NOT mean twice as much nitrogen absorbed into your tissues."
Thank you Charlie, which is what I meant earlier.
I am aware of the effects of work-rate and temperature and the risk profile for DCS. I know breathing higher percentages of O2 (say on deco stops) helps promote off-gassing.
The insinuation that "If the integrated computer records pressure as low and calculates your air consumption as low as a result you could be diving beyond your tables and be a risk of DCS" is simply wrong, for a number of reasons.
A) Just about any computer will let you dive "beyond your tables." Because they calculate multi-level dives.
B) As stated, no computer is going to EXTEND NDL based on any factor, much less air consumption. (Unless you were diving air on a Nitrox setting or something stupid - I can see how a stupid person might get confused there.)
C) As also stated, air hogs don't incur a higher nitrogen load than air-sippers.
Yet another reason for Uncle Pug to come here and issue a hearty "Computers Rot Your Brain" edict. And on this one, I have to wholeheartedly agree.
