    Default VR3 - 11 hour Deco

    Dove JB today. Dive time 85 min. When I got to the chimney my VR3 was showing a 30 ft stop at 300+ min and a time to surface of 700+ min. It is 3 years old and has not given me any problems till now and not sure if this is just a glitch or going to be an ongoing issue. Anyone with any similar issues.

    Low battery? Not a VR3, but I've had similar issues with other models.

    How's the new scoot?

    Battery was fine just before the dive.
    Scooter was great. Very fast. Takes a little getting used to. Dove to EOL, Buddy on my N-37 with stage and me towing a N-19 and stage and it kept up with the N-37 just fine.

    Or a second computer if the dive is more "challenging" -

    Batteries looked to be fine for me too. I'd check that first.

    What do you mean it kept up with the 37???

    Well pulling me and towing a scooter I didn't have to max out the Magnus to keep up with other much smaller diver not towing a scooter on my 37 running on 7 or 8.

    Had my bottom timer also but the VR3 was still accurate on the dive time.

    the scooter was faster than you thought & you came up against relativity?

    Damn, you must have been real cold by the time you cleared the computer.
