According to the Nitek Duo Manual (page 33) regarding decompression stop violation:
"Caution: If you do not correct an indicated deco stop violation,
the warnings continue for several minutes after surfacing. At this
point, the computer is not usable for the next 48 hours."
"Caution: If you do not correct an indicated deco stop violation,

I dive with two computers now, the Nitek Duo and the Uwatec Tec 2G. I've noticed the Nitek Duo is more conservative than the Tec 2G, which I expected. I usually base my deco on the Uwatec algorithm, but extend it 2-3X for safety so the extra conservativeness of the Nitek Duo is not a problem. If it were, I could adjust its sensitivity.

Hi John,
Thanks for asking. Once the NiTek Duo is bent, it is bent and will be locked out of both computer and gauge mode for 48 hours.

Turn computer over, look for black reset button, press the black reset button, now use in gage mode only.
You did keep a paper dive log for the past day or so so that you can figure out where on a table, didn't you?
If not, go to the max NDL for your last dive and enter the tables at that level.
If you want to be extra carefull, subtract 2 hours from any interval - i.e. if it has been 4 hours enter the tables as if you have only had a 2 hour interval.

Of course, we should ask how did you bend it?
If you bent it because you came up early, there are other problems that we need to talk about.
If you bent it because you were in dive mode and running a diffrent table with more then one deco gas and forgot to set to gage mode, then reset it.

Why? What is the reasoning behind that? If I bend my Aeris computer it reverts to gauge mode.
Locking out completely makes no sense to me,especially as it is so easy to bypass the lockout.
