I was wondering how one would continue diving after a series of dives with a computer and and then resume the next dive after the computer conks out (for whatever reason). Assuming the first series of dives were all within the computers limits I have always found the dives always exceed the dive tables.
How then, assuming you log the first series of dives using the computer do you continues the series using dive table?
Hypothetically, let's say this were to happen on a liveaboard in the middle of the trip?
Is the only way to sit out a day's diving then just simply resume using tables?
Basically, how do you do the dive profiles and determine your repetitive group letter accurately if after the computer conks out all you may have logged are max depth and bottom time? Is this the reason why hardcore tech divers dive stictly tables?
I ask this question because I was wondering how much I really need the bottom timer and depth guage in terms of continuing a series of dives versus just finishing the last dive the computer may have failed to complete.
Am I right to assume the best thing to do is just stay out of the water for 24 hours before resuming diving?
Any advise would be much appreciated as I am beginning to feel that I should back up my computer with another computer and not just analog and dive tables.
