Were both your computers set for the same mix?
Deco in Geo, not in VT3?

For what it's worth:
Recreationaly, I use Oceanic computers.
Over the last couple trips I've worn two on every dive, as a backup.
At the end of a weeks' worth of diving (about 28 dives) they would agree within a minute.
All the best, James
PS - there is a way to set extra conservatism on the Manta (Geo), perhaps this is enabled?

Looking at his attached screenshots, it appears they were both set for air.
All the best, James
They were both set for air, and both in normal, not conservative. Both should also read out the elevation correctly, what would be the point otherwise?
More and more confusing, and scary, too! What if the Geo is more "precise" and the VT3 is off due to production tolerances or other faults? Without me knowing, I could face DCS because of a fault when relying on the wrong tool.

For sure the VEO / XR line of computers is quite a bit different from the other Pelagic computers (MOD-protocol computers such as AI, Elite, Versa, etc and the transmitter-based computers, VT3, T3, Atom 2.0, GEO, Manta...) This is born out of research from the memory downloads, that the firmware and possibly the internal hardware is considerably different...
