Lynx freaked right the heck out, kept exiting dive mode and bad depth readings.

Wondering if anyone else has seen this issue on their Lynx (1.13 firmware).

I was diving this morning down in Carmel, CA. I dropped down to about 30ft depth and everything looked ok... but then a minute later noticed my Lynx had switched to surface mode. I tapped it a couple time and it switched back to dive mode but then toggled out again. I kept getting air readings but it would not stay in dive mode. I tried to go the compass, same thing, would work for a few second then snap back out.
The dive log is crazy it looks like I was bouncing up and out every few seconds, and I have max depth of 256ft with a average depth of 35ft :) (note: dive did not exceed 40ft). The dive time and air consumption all seem fine. I shrugged and switched to my backup gauge and comp but not everybody would have this option...
I have some video of it acting weird, and the log.
Coming up I got back in dive mode but the depth reading was all wrong, I was literally 3 feet from the surface (as measured by the length of my buddy) and it was still telling me I was at 18ft.

Next dive I kept an eye on it and it performed flawlessly. Loose sensor or something? I'm wondering if I should send this in... I almost would have preferred it to have failed twice because then I could say 'ah hah' just broken.

Never had anyone else with this issue... if you send it in of course we're happy to diagnose the unit!
