Dive Computers

One of the pieces of equipment that has truly enhanced our ability to maximize bottom time and stay underwater more efficiently is the dive computer. These incredible devices offer divers a whole new dimension in freedom by allowing them to use multi-level techniques.

The primary difference between a dive table and a dive computer is relatively simple. The tables are static, using only maximum depth and dive time for the calculation of decompression status. In contrast, computers are dynamic, making active adjustments during a dive. They continually track and calculate theoretical nitrogen uptake and its elimination based upon the actual dive profile. This is a big advantage because the computer takes into account the decrease in pressure as a diver ascends to shallower depths. The use of computers is rapidly replacing the use of the tables.
