All...I'm used to diving a GEO 2.0 and following PADI dive tables. I know the Perdix follows it's own type of model along with GF to determine it's NDLS but I have also seen that as far as NDL goes it seems to be quite conservative... at least for the first dive. From what I read the Perdix will not penalize you for your repetitive dives that other computer like suunto might. What question is what suggestions do you have for me as far as setting this computer up until my tec course next year where I will be likely using only OC REC mode? Which mode will get me closest to PADI dive tables (maybe conservatism setting low in OC REC mode?) I know that for recreational diving limits I have always felt fine after dives if I stick to the tables...even if I approached NDLs. Let me ask two scenerios...
First scenerio:
Lets say you had a deeper dive of 110 ft on a cool wreck so you want to maximize your NDL to be as close to the PADI table as possible and you don't mind a long surface interval before second dive...maybe you set the conservatism to low?
Second scenerio:
You plan on doing 3-5 repetitive dives through out the day at mixed recreational depths so for thus scenerio maybe you set conservatism to "medium"?
I hope what I'm asking makes sense.
