Matching Your Backup Computer to Your Rebreather If you are like me, you might have a backup CCR computer that is loaded with a different algorithm that your rebreather. Owning more than one rebreather, I want to know that the algorithm is a reasonably close match for each unit. Ryan Crawford from the UK has made some comparison profiles on different algorithms to help CCR divers see how different computer algorithms match up on different rebreathers. The comparisons are made to a depth of 45m so that air is used as the diluent. This keeps the comparisons within the scope of recreational rebreather…
Diving the D4i Novo Computer I’ve been a Suunto Brand Ambassador for many years and have been using their products for more than two decades. I’ve always been a fan of quality and reliability for documenting my expeditions to extreme environments. Suunto has provided team divers with their flagship D4i Novo computer. This popular design offers lightweight functionality with optional air integration, all in the size of a wrist watch. At the heart of every Suunto dive computer is a mathematical algorithm that keeps track of the diver’s decompression status. The reduced gradient bubble model (RGBM) algorithm was developed by…
