Geo 2.0 dive log

[emerge]

I am trying to figure something out, i recently purchased a geo 2.0 and so far it looks great. I have yet to get it wet but ill be heading out in march to dive.

My question is as follows:
On the Oceanic website it says "24 dive on-unit log book".
Does this mean i can only save 24 total dives on it? And do free-dives count in this total? I think we will probably do under 24 total scuba dives, but if free-dives are included in the number i guess i should bring the data cable and a computer. I'm really trying not to bring a computer.

So if anyone has any info or has hit the limit and can let me know it would be much appreciated.

It means the DC can store the data for up to 24 dives depending on how you have it set. You can set the DC to record data every 2, 15, 30, or 60 seconds. The DC will store your last ~24 dives. If you want to store more dives, set the sampling rate higher (60 sec).

Yes, free dives are included in the dive count. The computer begins recording once you go deeper than ~10 feet. On the other hand, how much time will you be spending freediving? Compared to 24 60-minute dives. Also, if you take the Geo off and leave it on the boat, it won't count the dive.

Of course, I rarely travel without my laptop. I need to download my photos as well.

This information is incorrect on how the computer stores the information.
