COMPUTERS vs. TABLES
COMPUTERS vs. TABLES
•
Diving Computers calculate a more accurate
profile. They use the same (or similar) algorithms
as the tables and simply perform those same
calculations several times a second. Going back
to the previous example, a Dive Computer would
take into account that only 2 minutes were spent
a 88 feet. It adjusts the no decompression dive
time remaining, thus allowing additional bottom
time.
