So my wife and I were enjoying 4 dives in Pompano Beach, FL on Friday and we encountered some very bizarre behavior with her VEO 100NX. Before the 4th dive, we switched the gas in her computer to EAN35% and ran plan mode and it showed 1:19 at 50 feet and 46 minutes at 60 feet. No previous dive came close to NDL or oxygen load. So we jumped in and as soon as she hit 5 feet beneath the surface she signaled that something was wrong and pointed to her computer. I looked at her computer and it said "DECO: 3:17 with ceiling of 10 feet." This made absolutely no sense because 10 minutes earlier when we checked log mode we had an ample amount of time at our planned depth, and now it wanted over 3 hours of deco!!!!!! Needless to say we didn't abort the dive because of a computer failure, we dove the dive to the planned max depth/time. After our dive when checking the computer it had the nitrogen bars and oxygen bars pegged out. After 24 hours the computer had reset itself and I did a single dive on 36% on Sunday without incident.
So Oceanic what is wrong with the logic of this computer and what can you do to ensure that this does not happen again?
NOTE: I had already ran through our planned dives of the day through iDeco pro, the computers are more or less for contingency, tracking surface intervals, and for logging dives.
