I would like to learn more about the circumstances on these dives. I've conducted more than 50 deco dives using my old MK1 and I've never seen anything more than a few minutes of difference in the deco schedule between the MK1 and my Perdix.
Without knowing anything about the dives, it's conceivable if one didn't enter their deco gas correctly, you could easily have several hours of deco assuming one did 60 minutes at 130 feet on air and the computer though you'd be deco'ing out on air.
I find it quite a capable tech diving computer, and I'm saying this as someone who has no financial interest in the sales of these computers.

Although I did only a bunch of deco dives (something like 5), I share your thoughts.
Also, diving mode starts automatically, and if you forget to set the watch properly before a dive, you'll have troubles... which I don't like
It would be surprising if a respectable company like garmin would put on the market a device conceived for tech dives, which is not reliable for its job...
Note: that doesn't mean that mk1 is a good computer, I have it and I think quite the opposite....
