Is it possible to erase a dive from the log?
My Leonardo failed to log two dives in June.
Hello,
No, it is not possible to delete any recorded logs from the computer. It is done on purpose since the computer keeps in memory the history and the total of all the dives performed. In fact, it is possible to read the total number of dives made and the total number of diving hours. The deletion of the data is not allowed as these records are a bit like the black box of the aircraft which can be interrogated for any reason, even in the case of diagnostics.
Kind of like the total mileage of cars that cannot be reset. If the first owner sold the car, the second owner knows how many kilometers the car has driven and therefore knows what kind of maintenance is needed.
The main reason is for the safety of the diver and to avoid any lack of information in case the computer is sold to another. Dive computers are also used by dive centers for courses, used by multiple divers, therefore they must monitor the dives performed for maintenance (cleaning, o-ring lubrication, o-ring/battery change).
It is recommended to lubricate the seal once a year or every 60 hours of immersion. Whenever the battery is changed, the O-ring must also be changed.
It is strongly advised that the diver treats the computer carefully and checks the seal and proper functioning before each dive. If it's noticed any wear on the o-ring then it is advisable to change it before any dive.
Good maintenance of the device is to the advantage of the owner's safety.
Best regards,
