Guys, today I dove Aquarena Springs with my new Uwatec Smartcom AI computer...after doing my setup, I had a normal pressure reading of about 2700 psi, however upon entering the water, the pressure jumped to 5076, and remained there for the entire dive. The computer continued to monitor bottom time, depth, max depth etc. correctly. Upon exiting the water the pressure returned to about what I thought it should be (around 1500 psi, I didnt stay down too long with the pressure not reading correctly, and I was with an instructor.) On the second dive of the day, the computer performed flawlessly. LDS said that since it didnt fault twice, keep an eye on it, and let them know if there is a problem again. This doesnt boost my confidence in this computer, any input would be appreciated.

I'd start by replacing the batteries. I've had similar things happen with my old Genesis and fresh batteries has always solved the problem to date. Considering that it's getting colder it's not a surprise that you're seeing it now.

Maybe you can export that one dive and email it off to ScubaPro for thier expert advice...
