I always thought those fancy dive computers were just overpriced toys
For years, I stuck with my basic gauges and a watch, thinking the $1,200 for a Shearwater Teric was a total waste. Then, on a salvage job in Lake Michigan last October, the visibility dropped to nothing and my buddy's computer flagged a missed deco stop I completely missed on my slate. That screen showing my exact tissue loading and ascent rate in real time changed my mind fast. Anyone have a go-to computer they trust for zero-vis work?

Wait, didn't your buddy's computer save you, not your own?

Whoa, hold on, wait. I totally missed that part, is that true? I mean, I was so caught up in the story of him buying the computer I just assumed it was his own gear that did the magic. That's a pretty huge detail to just skim over, right? So his buddy's computer is the real hero, not the expensive one he bought? Man, that changes the whole lesson of the story for me.
