Check This Out,

So the boat trip was a perfect day as far as weather. 80 degrees, calm seas, and no clouds and 60-70 feet visability,

We anchored at our first of three dive sites for the day, a pinnicale reef formation 200 yards north of Bird Rock near two harbors Catalina Island. I powered up my new Cobalt computer for it's first dive. Donned my new fusion dry suit and entered the water. After giving the boat an OK signal I looked at my comp and it was flooding with water behind the screen. Also I could feel a leak in my left foot of the drysuit. I had to miss the first dive to get out and attach my backup SPG and dive the tables the rest of the day. On the way home I found a hole big enough to squirt a jet of water through in my new fusion suit.

Still had a great time.

I took the cobalt back to my LDS. this was strike two! had to send it in for a stuck button and now this. According to Atomic the recent recall DIDN"T apply to my computer by Serial number.....Whatever the case $1200 is too much for Atomic to have these problems with the cobalt PERIOD! I have patched my drysuit's hole and have an all black D6i on its way to me. Sorry Atomic!
