Summary

Dive computers are powerful, reliable and an essential part of your scuba kit. There are many affordable dive computers on the market today that allow divers to fit this into their budget. Is it okay to tell divers that they don't need to use a dive computer because the dives are going to be shallow? This is not how we dive and not how we counsel our divers.

Also listen for some Wet Notes updates on: * The Immerse Yourself Empress of Ireland presentation * A humpback whale and calf encounter * Humpback numbers are dropping * SSI's new dive computer specialty * Dive travel statistics * Women Divers Hall of Fame Scholarship and Grant update
