After getting to do a try-dive on a Defender I ran into one issue (besides buoyancy) that I hadn't expected. It was sunny (Roatan) and I was very shallow and hadn't realized my mask had a slight fog inside, but I suddenly couldn't read my PPO2. The rest of the console looked fine, but where the PPO2 had been posting was blank. Given that this could be really bad I switched to OC and stood up. What I discovered on the surface was that my PPO2 had dropped low enough to post in red, which I could now see since my mask was off, but due to my color blindness, intense daylight and mask fog it wasn't visible underwater.
Given how critical knowing your PPO2 is, how do I sort this? Circumstantially it was a trifecta of issues, but clearly those issues can happen. I have typical male color blindness, which is red, green, brown. Do some consoles permit color swapping? Subbing blue for red would definitely help. Other potential solutions? Clearly this is something I must get sorted before I can do MOD1.
Thanks!
P.S.: I came down with Covid right after the trip, so please excuse any typos, my head is a bit foggy at the moment...
