Second dive we dropped down to 35m, going down fairly slowly my no deco time came up very short. It took 14 mins according to my Vytec to reach 33m, at 17mins the computer went into deco. I was attending a course-observing, and so watched the trainee and instructor go through a genuine issue, which meant it was not appropriate to start signalling about my puter. When we reached 20m after 29mins I had 29mins of deco  One of the other divers also on a Vytec had 77 mins of no deco time at this point. After completing the same dive profiles.
The other divers were out of the water after 45mins, I stayed at 3.5m to clear the deco(weezle extreme plus and dry gloves mmmmm) and ended up with a dive time of 65mins, however I came up 15 mins after the other divers. In other words the dive time calculation had gone a bit wrong.......The depth reading was fine.
Has anyone else experienced the dive time on a Suunto going a bit wrong in cold water? FWIW I have completed 350 dives on the Vytec with no significant issues. |
In that case I would have exited the water, as you know something wasnt right with the reading, in a situation were you may have been the only one on a suunto then you might air on the side of caution? I dived with a mate who had an Aladdin Air and after the dive the no fly times were 6 hours in difference with the Aladdin being the less conservative.
