Great to see you are Thinking of safe diving,and that you have good eye sight.I have to get my students to do exactly the opposite,enlarge the tables blow them up to A4 size so they can see the script and use the tables without making mistakes,for classroom use obviouslly.Dive table usage is not encouraged for in water usage.

I Agree with you. This is intended for a backup in case your computer fails underwater. Always Plan your Dive, and Dive your Plan.

Buy a back-up dive computer. These are interesting, but irrelevant for real world situations and diving... while underwater. Ain't nobody working the tables when their computer poops out. If you "plan your dive and dive your plan", essentially you never needed the computer in the first place. This apparent conundrum points up the critical distinction between starting a dive on a computer and attempting to "plan" out the end of it while underwater on tables. Can't be done.

I use to have to use the laminating machine for conferences. I can't tell you how many little laminated cards I've made it my life! Way too many.
