Oceanic Geo 2 troubleshooting

[John-n-dan]

Hi all

I have recently bought an Oceanic Geo2 and after deciphering the incomprehensible manual, have used it about ten times and have started to like the way the computer operates.

Unfortunately though I have been having problems with the computer going into dive mode while on the surface. It seems to happen about twice a day, and the dive mode seems to last between ten and fifty minutes, with the computer showing a depth of between 1.4 and 1.5 metres.

Just wondering whether anyone else has encountered a similar problem and found a resolution?

Cheers

Sending it back for repair is the solution. Nothing else can be done.

Not normal - send it back. Mine has never done that. Although mine fails to go into dive mode underwater with "WET-ON", opposite problem I guess

I had this problem with a GEO 1.0 computer a few years ago. It was the altitude sensor. Oceanic fixed it. Actually, I am pretty sure they replaced it with a new computer.

The Geo 2.0 comes with a free online video tutorial if you register the computer with Oceanic.

Thanks for the advice, I emailed oceanic and they agree its most likely a problem with the depth sensor so have advised me to take it back to the reseller so it can be sent away for repair or replacement.

My Geo 2 toggles between modes on the surface. Anyone know what is wrong?

Can you give a little more detail of what you see? Do you mean while floating?

Make sure that you are blowing dry all of the points between dives. Can be a problem if those points stay wet.

I would soak the entire computer in a glass of distilled water for a couple of days.
