Using a diver for its intended purpose....!
Discussion
So, I went diving on Saturday and my dive computer battery decided to die one me while descending to 35m, I was wearing my Mühle Glashütte Marinus on my other wrist... "just in case"..... lucky I did otherwise I'd have had to call the dive!
All worked perfectly, ratcheted the bezel round to count my bottom time (
) and had a great dive, if a bit chilly at 6 degrees Celsius.
So it is officially no longer a desk diver and is now a proper dive watch.... (normally I wear my G-shock mudman as a back up).

Now I am intrigued, call the dive what? George, Peter, Joe. ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
Good job you remembered your bottom time allowance, so was it a no decompression dive?

Back to my question out of interest what is the answer, don't want to be putting you on a Table 6, run two of those on recreational divers in the past two weeks.

Before jumping in I always have quick glance at my tables to make sure I know what my NDL limit is at max intended depth, although, I am tech cert'd (so deco isn't a new concept to me) my buddy isn't so yep, a no decompression dive

Thank you for that, key word "Plan the dive". Anyway enjoy your diving trips, and keep safe.Before jumping in I always check what my NDL limit is, although I am tech cert'd (so deco isn't a new concept to me) my buddy isn't so yep, a no decompression dive :-)

I did look at going into the pro diving gig (rigs, offshore diving et all) but the cost for training was prohibitive.
I've been a PADI DM for years though, although no longer working as a DM I just enjoy diving.

Good for you, when I went into the offshore diving industry (1975), there was no training required, with legislation it is a lot safer, but as you said, expensive.I did look at going into the pro diving gig (rigs, offshore diving et all) but the cost for training was prohibitive.
