Hi,
I went diving recently with my shiny new gekko. It was following a 25m dive, and was pushing the limits of a no-deco dive - I reached 1 minute left of no deco time, but never quite reached the point at which I would need a decompression stop.
On the way up, I did a generous 3 minute safety stop at 5m, then carried on up to the surface. It was extremely wavey, which resulted in my gekko warning me about coming up too quickly, I glanced at it, and it was telling me to do another safety stop. For a few seconds, it showed '4' in the safety stop time, which seemed odd - I thought it would only suggest a 3 minute stop.
Any suggestions what happened there? Was the fast ascent responsible for the gekko telling me to do another stop?
(also, it fairly frequently seems to show the warning triangle, but I can't seem to find specifically what it's warning me about...)
