I bought 2 atmos 2 wrist computers from scubatoys for our recent trip to san pedro, belize. Mine worked fine but my girlfriend's computer had some "hiccups" on our trip:
First off, when I tried downloading her dives to my laptop it went a lot slower than with my computer. Then, I decided to do the 2 second sampling for a couple dives just for the fun of it. My computer downloaded fine, but hers had trouble again. it gave me some "runtime error" and closed the computer program, but the dive computer still had all the LCD display blacked out - like it was still connected to my laptop. I let it sit for 5 minutes, and it went back to normal, so I tried it again. This time it downloaded (although it took a long time) and then it locked up after the dive downloaded and just displayed "555". I figured I'd let it sit, so I checked out her dive profile. In the middle of the dive, it said she went from 60 feet to 1 foot to 60' in 2 seconds. I knew this was impossible (I think it might even violate the laws of physics), and so I waited for the dive computer to go back to normal - but it didn't. Luckily, she didn't plan on diving for 24 hours so I removed the battery, let it sit, and replaced the battery. Everything seemed to work fine from then on, and I re-downloaded the dive and it no longer had the 60 foot to 1 foot to 60 foot spike in it. So is this a defective dive computer, download cable, Aeris software, or what? Any help would be much appreciated.
