Scuba anyone?

Nothing, but the guide at the resort seemed to assume I was a beginner and asked me what my air was every 5 minutes or so, it really pissed me off....
I know what my air is within plus or minus 5 bar at all times, I know if I am consuming a little too much because I am rooting around a little deeper that the others, that I need to shallow up to compensate, and I know that when I get to 5 meters, I can last for ever......

The servicing is sometimes indeed a dice roll. During one of my first liveaboard safaris, we agreed with my diving buddy to do air sharing exercises. At 15m when we decided to do it, I got a mouth full of salt water. At the surface it was identified that the membrane was set backwards. After the service...
I bet that your trigger to go up is more about not getting into too much deco rather than the air consumption. -
I got rid of my Suunto computer because it was overly cautious. It locked me out one day because of something trivial, so I had to borrow a computer from the dive operation. I was not familiar with it and missed a deco stop. I had to do a 40 minute safety stop - I was not popular....

@Giles said in Scuba anyone?:

The Suunto lock was notorious! I was diving under a constant fear of breaking the rules. The terror!!!
Now Im happy to announce that on top of, reduced gradient bubble model, they adapted Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm with GF
Those bastards went the Sharewatter way 5 months after I bought my Shearwater PERDIX 2. Felt almost robbed. But my daughter was a winner here as she got the computer and the air integration.For onlookers to this thread - the 16 stands for 16 types of tissues that this model takes under consideration base on their reaction to a changing pressure gradient, and the GF stands for Gradient Factors.
