This feature of the Tec 2G really bothered me until I stumbled by accident upon the solution.

When it's stuck in dive mode (i.e. the water contacts are wet or salt-coated):

If you very briefly press both buttons simultaneously, it goes directly into the settings mode at the "Contacts on/off" option. Then press & hold the right button until the option flashes, press the right button again to select "off" and then press & hold the right button again to confirm.

I use this strategy between dives and at the end of last dive of the day to conserve the battery. Then I soak it in FW when returning home. When it's dried off, I reactivate the water contacts in the SET 1 page.

If you accidentally forget to reactivate the contacts before your next dive, it won't turn itself on until you're at a couple of metres depth or you can turn it on manually by pressing & holding the right button (I've done this a few times upon submerging).

Hope this helps.
