I had my Mares Puck Pro dive computer wrapped up in some clothes for a plane trip back. Then I accidentally threw it in the washing machine with the clothes for a full cycle with a Tide pod. Nothing on it is visibly broken and it seems to operate (out of the water) just fine. Any risk that I damaged it in some way and it won't work properly in the water?

Those are pretty hearty computers. Even if water had gotten into the battery compartment, it is isolated from the rest of the computer electronics. I'd probably soak it in some warm (not hot) water and after it soaks a few minutes perhaps jiggle it around -- just in case there was any residual detergent stuck in there somehow (should have come out in the rinse cycle, but just to be extra cautious).

Was it set to fresh water or soap water?
