It doesn't take much to get into trouble with a single tank. I don't have a computer, just a bottom timer. The guy I dive with has a computer which we monitor very closely. When those dots creep into the red, we start our ascent.
How do you like that Poseidon regulator? I was thinking of switching to that from the Sherwood gear I have now.

Guy I fly with has one of those new fangled fancy computers that double as a watch. He went diving on Saturday morning, about 70 feet down off of San Diego. We flew on Monday and the bloody thing was still showing that he was not legal to fly! Went into the books and he was fine, so there is a glitch to the computer. The new fangled things may be fancy but the old charts may be more accurate at times.
Chuck,
Am looking forwards to a dive on the USS Oriskany, the carrier just deep sixed off of Florida. My Brother flew off of her during the Korean war and once things settle down a bit want to see her up close and personal.
