The thing with a dive computer is that you don’t really need it, and I think that is where divemedic was going. Ultimately, or at least my feeling is, if you are going to buy a computer you might as well get a good one that will also do nitrox, so this can get into money. If you are concerned about saving some cash, you can do fine diving using the tables, people have done this for years, and it is always good to know your tables just in case. I always check my dive against the table and carry a table in my pocket just in case. If you get good at using your tables and even diving multiple dives with them, then you always have that safe back up. Sometimes computers can lead some to be complaisant.
