So was I.I was being sarcastic.
Sounds like you didn’t read my post.If your Core will "lock out" at the surface because you ignore an optional "deep stop", then something is very wrong with the algorithm. My D4 and D6 both have the deep stop option, as well as a three minute safety stop countdown, and neither computer has ever locked me out for ignoring either type of stop.
Do you know it will lock out for missing the deep stop from direct personal experience, i.e. has it actually done it to you? Or is this how you are interpreting the information from the owner's manual?
Sounds like you're confusing "deep stop", "safety stop" and "deco stop". These are very different things. The first is optional, but not universal (i.e. there is debate about its benefit.) The second is optional, but generally recommended as an industry standard. The third is mandatory. Unfortunately the language we use to describe these three things can add to the confusion.
Glenn - one of your posts seem to describe a dive where you equate having deep stops turned on with your computer requiring you to do 3 deco stops. I think that is causing all of this back and forth confusion, and has still not been cleared up.Sounds like you didn’t read my post.
I’m very familiar with how the eon core works. I never said the stops were mandatory. I did however have on my last dive deep stops turned on, as such when after diving down to depth and then start the ascent my core wanted me to stop as previously stated. Had I not met the obligation it would have locked out after reaching the surface. Again there is a count down timer and it lets you know to get back down and do your deco stop within 3 minutes. There were 3 stops from a depth of 106 feet.
Suunto was supposed to have had a firmware upgrade for the steel this year, now it’s 2020.
