Dive computer

 With the refinement of electronics and computer technology it is now possible to use these techniques in diving. There are dive computers on the market that automatically track and calculate dive time, dive depth, air consumption and surface interval.

Before you start using a dive computer you must be thoroughly familiar with the possibilities and, in particular, the impossibilities of a dive computer. Obviously, you must have sufficient diving experience and be able to use conventional instruments and dive tables before you start using a dive computer.

A dive computer constantly records depth and calculates the time you can spend at this depth. Some dive computers even have the option of digitally displaying the cylinder pressure and keeping track of the actual air consumption from minute to minute. When using a dive computer you must also make a good dive plan and stick to it during the dive.
