On my recent trip to Cozumel my Vyper locked out for 48 hrs after surfacing from the second dive of the day.
The first dive was to Palancar Caves, a 51 minute dive with max depth of 95 ft and ave depth 49 ft. The surface interval was rather short 47 minutes and the Vyper took revenge on me on the second dive. The attachments show the dive profile of the second dive from Suunto Dive Manager/Uwatec SmartTrak side by side. The first photo is at 26 minutes and the second photo is at 46 minutes into the dive:
The second dive was Dalila: 61 min dive, max depth 67 ft, ave depth 39 ft. At 26 minutes into the second dive the Vyper is in deco with ceiling of 10 ft and ascent time of 3 minutes, while the Galileo shows 13 min no deco time.
At 46 minutes the Vyper has deco of 11 minutes ascent time from depth of 25 ft, 10 ft ceiling. The Galileo here shows 199 minute no deco time.
To make long story short the Vyper continues in deco while is Galileo shows almost unlimited no deco time.
I ended up doing a 6 minute safety stop, but the Vyper still had deco of 5 minutes of ascent time after this and I surfaced nevertheless, at which point the Vyper went into error mode and locked out for 48 hrs.
After this experience I would avoid Suunto computers as I'm convinced my profile was perfectly safe and it was not reasonable to lock out for two days.
