A friend said he never saw this, and, since I haven't seen
any further discussion and have not had any replies, I'm am
posting it again under the assumption the first posting never
made it. It is with respect to the recent discussion about
decompression computers:
*******************************
The old computers that are real bad are based on
some substance which expands with N2 during a dive, correct?
Are not the new decompression computers just integrated
depth gauges and watches with tables built in? Allowing the
tables to be driven real time during a dive? If not, why hasn't
this approach been tried (or has it)?
Can someone describe the mechanisms involved in the
1st to Nth generation decomp. computers? I, for one, am very
interested.
Also, how about some heavy (~1/4 in) wet suit recommendations,
and places/mail order catalogues to get them cheap. And have any of
you out there used any booties with zippers in COLD (ie ~50 F)
water. How'd they stand up (no pun intended)?
