This was sort of prompted by another thread on the cause of a violation.
I dive an Oceanic Veo 2.0, wrist mounted, on which I now have 16 dives. This is my first dive computer.
I have yet to log a dive that did not give me an ascent rate violation, regardless of my ascent rate profile. I have come to the conclusion, after some experimentation, that this is resulting from hand movement.
As a new diver still learning, I am aware that I move my hands too much. I'm working on it. Nonetheless, I also use my right hand to equalize, and this will continue. In the other thread, it was suggested that this movement could be slowed down. I don't view this as a practical suggestion, as I feel that I have other (more important) things to worry about rather than if the computer doesn't like how fast I move my hand.
So to the question, then, is this level of sensitivity common across computers?
