Great job Shearwater. Awesome update. I dive both tec and rec. This update is great for switching between. I dove it today and am very happy. Keep up the good work

Shearwater announced new Firmware version 18 for their Petrel. I installed it and wanted to know if anyone caught the release note:
NEW FEATURE: Added commands for setting and getting time over Bluetooth.
I looked for a while under the setup mode, and system settings, but couldn't find a option to enable this feature, I am wondering if when dive logs are downloaded to the PC that is when it does the time sync?
Any one know if they got theirs to get the time sync from their PC, or figure out the option under the settings?
I was hoping the Petrel would keep track of penetration distance or provide information on the r screen about that recs history but so far nothing.
Hi v101,
The commands were added to the Petrel, but the Shearwater Desktop program doesn't do anything with them yet.
In a future release we may add an option to either automatically sync the time or a prompt to sync.
Best regards,
Tyler Coen
