    Default VR3 finally dead

    Well I've been a strong supporter of the brick but mine finally let me down. Got to where it usually stops me for a deep stop on Saturday afternoon, paused at 63 ft or so, checked the computer it said that I was at 83 ft, not the same as the bottom timer on my other arm (63 ft). It also stopped responding to input (gas switches) at 112 minutes into the dive, locked up solid. Decoed out on the bottom timer based on a similar dive from last week - no issues. But the computer didn't unfreeze until around 9:00 or so in Kazboors. Very strange - a computer that needs to be taken into a bar to make it work.

    Any suggestions for a replacement? One that won't try to kill me? Gotta be OC trimix compatible.

    Probably cheaper if you just carry a beverage with you on the dive.

    Does this happen when you dive at night with that thing?
