Afaik, the dive computers that need random addresses will simply not
respond to the static ones.

It's not a "choice" you can make. It's the other end that says that
they need a random address.

Now, it's possible that Windows does the selection automatically
(that's how it *should* work, and Bluez is being stupid about it), but
then it shouldn't matter whether you set the random address bit or
not.
