I appreciate where you're going, (hence the disclaimer st the beginning of the post) but it's like anything else, if it breaks on a trip, you have to adjust. (if it's between dives, and I can't figure out my profile, then I sit out, plain and simple) But since the majority of my dives have been within the 35' depth, (and I have a back up timer) I can probably get it right.
I haven't done a dive yet without tables backing me up, and don't really plan on stopping that habit. The first dive I ever did, the DM had a computer, but still worked out his tables, and told me that it's good to do.

Dive-aholic:Not to hijack the thread, but if your computer breaks down mid-dive, how do you know your profile and whether you can dive again? You should always be aware of your profile and not have to rely on a computer or buddy. I dive a computer, but I still figure out my profile with the wheel for every dive, for back up and so I don't forget how to use it. This means I need to be aware of my depth, time, temp, etc.
Okay, back to topic.
