Hi, Just wondering why you would not want to dive with your computer set on nitrox with a 21% mixture, while diving with a regular air mixture?
Thanks

Actually at least in the case of most Suunto computers, if you dive Nitrox at all it's best to put the computer in Nitrox mode and leave it there, and set it to 21% when diving air. Reason being, once you have started a dive series you cannot switch modes until the computer clears so you will be stuck in air mode.
