I would like some inputs regarding failures of AI Computers. Not including wireless transmitters. I have heard so much talk about analog being so much more reliable than electronic. Frankly, I have had an ORCA Skinny dipper for twenty years and have never had a failure of any sort. Can't say that about my Analog SPGs. Of course this is just my experience.
Have been looking at buying an AI computer lately and am aware of issues or concerns about reliability. Since I will back up with a non AI dive computer the only real info I won't have backed up is air.
I have replaced 2 SPGs in the last twenty years of diving. Not a bad record I think for Analog SPGs. I did not count replacing HP hoses as this would similarly affect reliabilty of an AI computer. Have never aborted a dive. On both times I had to replace my SPGs, they flooded but functioned for the rest of the dive.
What are your experiences with AI Computer failures / reliabilty? Any inputs would be much appreciated.
