The question is much more fundamental. It is about the way that a 
recreational diver needs to take care of her/his own safety and not to 
depend on others except in an emergency situation. Dive safety is 
largely dependent on consistent care and vigilance. The question is 
whether dive safety would actually be improved if a diver can dive 
knowing that if a problem arose: because the "net" takes care of this 
problem. What happens to care and vigilance and the three pillars of 
safe diving: knowledge, experience and skills? Do you just entrust these 
to your fellow divers? If the whole team had this attitude, then maybe 
no-one would have any of these vital skills? A computer cannot provide 
skills. It can only provide information.
