Thanks for that. It was a very interesting read. I especially liked
the way you included your thoughts at the time.

I quite fancy that myself now

OK. Badly phrased. What I wanted was the UWATEC depth timer
to work because it has max depth this dive on the display.
What was the matter with it I don't know. It switched on
but never switched into dive mode. I wasn't looking at
things like that when diving. I hoped the VR3 would record
things but it only does so every 10 seconds. This means my
deepest dive shows a 10 second pause at 22meters, I must
have gone through 22 on the sample time both ways.

I quite like the VR3, well except the download, but it never
pretends to be a freedive computer. I was very please with
the little Reefmaster recorders though. I switched them to
1 second records and they recorded everything.

May be this is where technology has run away with us. May be an analogue
device with an indicator would have been the gauge of choice!

Cheers
