The Petrel on my JJ crapped out and the dive weekend was cut really short.
Now I'm wondering if I need a second handset as it would really suck to be on a dive trip with a useless rebreather. Do most people bring a spare handset on trips? Also, I hope Shearwater will get a service center in the EU that can fix EXT units and within a reasonable time frame. It seems that shearwater's buttons aren't all that reliable having long shipping times or very pricey express shipping and having to deal with customs is not good service.
