I am a new diver and have the Oceanic VEO 180.
I have been working on my buoyancy these past few dives and ensuring a nice even and steady accent. I was having problems not venting enough air out of my BC and dry suit and ended up floating up as I got into shallower water. The past 4-5 dives I have been able to maintain things right into 8' of water. I am getting the hang of things.
My question though is how finiky or sensitive are dive computers as my computer on a couple of the dives that went well for me still had flashing lights indicating a rapid accent?
Talking with the guys all they could think of (as they dove with me) is that it could just be me lifting my arm (with the computer on it) from a low position to a high position to vent air from the suit. Would this be enough to set off the rapid accent alarm?
Any thoughts?
