    Had my Geo 2 about 18 months now and I already updated the firmware to r1H last year, then noticed recently that r1i was available.

    Inon Lens Mounts Changeable?

    Hi All, I have invested in the Inon LD series for close up and wide angle lenses.

    Just bought a Geo 2. According to the manual and the Dive Computer Training videos, if you change a value, then want to ignore it (not save it) then you should hold the S button in for more than 2 seconds. If you want to save the data then you just press the S button momentarily. Mine...
