Missed deco stop, lock out?

[scubadada]

To expand on a recent thread discussing "light deco", I would like to know if your computer locks you out, in violation gauge mode, for a period of time, if you miss a deco stop and surface.

I dive an Oceanic VT3 as my primary computer and either an Oceanic Geo 2 or a Dive Rite Nitek Q as backup. All 3 computers would lock me out for a deco violation, my answer to the poll is simply, yes.

Many of us know that Shearwater computers do not lock you out following a deco violation. I'm interested if there are other computers that do not lock you out.

Thanks, Craig

Im pretty sure my Mares Icon Hd's will not but my Mares Quad airs will

VRX and OSTC do not lock out.

My Cressi Leo locks you out for 24hrs

The Aeris Mantas that Sue and Kim dive would lock them out for 24 hours, if they were so foolish as to omit mandatory deco.
I use Petrel 2s, so no lockout.

Yes, for 24 hours, also in case of uncontrolled ascent.
Computer: Mares Puck Wrist.

My Shearwater Perdix2 wont lock you out. My older backup, Suunto Gekko will and goes into gauge mode.

Are you sure in fact that S/W doesn't [eventually] lock out? I am aware that both S/W and Cochran will recalculate on the fly a solution if you miss a stop (or two or three....), always providing a solution, but I am uncertain if S/W will "lock out" if you actually blow it all off and surface (permanently).

To be honest, I would rather not be in a position to actually find out....... (though I need to re-read my manuals)

I have locked out a Mares Puck that was in my pocket when my Cochran was okay with what I was doing....

No. Shearwater petrel. This feature is part of the sales shpeal. I'm pretty sure that goes for every computer ever made by Shearwater.

I also have a scubapro galileo that I think will lock you out, although I've never missed a deco stop with any computer so I can't say for sure.
