    I haven't got an reply from Shearwater if I'm allowed to post this so I consider silence as "yes". TL;DR: the computer screen suddenly went black and was off for the whole dive, then suddenly started to work after a few hours at the surface. I've sent the computer to Shearwater and after two...

    I've bought cootwo last June and recently found out that it gives incorrect readings: e.g. 88% for 100% oxygen and 25% for 28% nitrox (the higher the O2 content the bigger the difference). so the oxygen sensor lasted for just half a year, which means that either my particular cootwo was lying in...

    directing valves inside (to the chest)?

    wouldn't it be better to place tanks in such way that valve handles would look inside rather than outside? I feel it would be much easier to close/open left tank with the right hand and right tank with the left hand. a bit shopped example below:
