You would go into deco without backup depth readings?

You are a braver man than I am.

I used to have two contents gauges on the twinset too.

Nigel,

The emphisis was on 'had I'

I did have my old Octopus II as a backup timer / depth gauge.

The idea wasn't to do a deco dive, however more of a 'what if'
scenario.

Ben,

Battery is a possibility it was reading 57%.

Scubapro have said it sounds like a TX failure throwing erronious
tank readings therefore the unit shuts down. Given the 57% on the
battery it was 'unlikely' to be that.

I was quite surprised to be told to take it back to a dealer who'd
upgrade to
an Air-Z for £95.00 and if I wanted to be on the 'safe' side they's
replace the
TX for an additional £57.50. The second part there surprised me given
that the first suspected fail point WAS the TX.

All in all

They just seemed to show no interest in why the unit failed. As they no
longer support the Air-X the upgrade was on the cards anyway. I just
thought they'd show a little more interest in why it failed in the way
it did.

Thanks for the replies so far.
