As for adjusting deco, I would just have a range of tables and fudge the depth average...but I don't (and doubt I ever will) do dives big enough to justify the cost and headache of a dive computer, so I guess it's clear that I don't think deco down to the minute or exact profile is really all that important.

I guess what I was saying, is it would suck if you drove 4 hours to dive EN and had 32% in your tanks. Getting all the info you can before the dive seems to be a reasonable thing to do.

I was talking OC.... and a cheap air computer.

When I know nothing of a system or site, I bring air and O2. Do the dive, and have navy air tables as backup.

If I come across a system that I know nothing about and I get to depths like EN, I am going to want to explore as well as I can on air, take notes, and come back with the "next step gas" and the deco mixes to go with it...

Cavediving is not always about following gold lines and knowing what is in front of you... sometimes it is about the exploration... and NOT knowing.

I'm a poor college student, I can't even justify the cost of a recreational computer Joe. :(

The last cave I dove that I didn't have a map for barely went 300ft, and ended in a 100% silt out, no fun! But I'm just a tourist cave diver, while I'd love to lay line, I really don't have the motivation to do what it takes to do that these days...heck I'll never do a big enough dive to see half of the line that's already laid. :)
