Mares Puck Pro Max Accent Rate

[AlaskanSailor]

good evening all,

I have just purchased the puck pro and took it on two dives today but when I have received my dives in the log book it displays a 20 m/min max accent rate. Can anyone clarify what this is describing as my max depth 29.4 and I had no fast accent alarm and had a slow gradual accent to 6m for a safety stop?

Sometimes if you move your hand upward while you were ascending, the combination of the two might trigger the fast ascent alarm (and record it) though you were ascend withing the recommended limits.

I also have a Puck Pro. Love it!

I have noticed ( as the poster above pointed out ) that sometimes, during accent, if I raise my arm to fast while ascending, it will trigger the fact ascent alarm. Even though my body is going slow enough, my wrist has exceeded the alarm limit.

I have a Puck Pro too. Amazing computer and great value.

It sounds like you triggered the alarm at one point during your ascent. Honestly, I trigger my ascent warning on almost every dive. Mine is set for 30 feet/min max ascent rate to be ultra conservative. I normally go up around 45 feet per minute on free ascents, and stay under that rate while going up a rope.

I don't worry unless I'm going over 60 feet per minute. Sometimes I accidently do by just lifting my arm really fast while ascending. The 30-60 feet per minute ascent mixed with a fast moving arm is enough to trigger the warning.
