Yep. I just checked. PADI has a course and certification on this now.

Not to pedantic, but while it is waterproof, its rated to be waterproof up to a certain temperature.
That is because the specifications of the sealing compounds and o-rings are rated to work up to a specific temperature.

I think washing machines get pretty hot.

The washing machine was on the warm setting. The internet suggests this is usually between 90 and 110 degrees F. I suspect this would be OK for a dive computer.

I did a couple of dives in St Kitts last week. Dive computer performed as expected.

Did it feel short?

It's probably dirty now, are you going to wash it?



Good news on it working correctly. We all thought it would. But had to have a lot of fun along the way.
