    Problem with Leonardo dive computer

    Hi. I just recently purchased a Leonardo dive computer and took it for some dives first time last Sunday. The computer was working fine till the last of 3 dives.

    I got into deco mode and the computer indicated 8 minutes of deco time and a total of 12 minutes (including safety stop and ascent time) bottom time before I could safely ascend. I went to a depth of 13 feet to decompress. After 14 minutes at 13 feet, the dive computer still showed a deco time of 3 minutes and a total bottom time of 7 minutes. The deco time counted down only 5 minutes after 14 minutes!

    I experienced a similar problem like this with my Apeks Quantum. Apeks was never able to fix the problem.

    Has anybody ever experienced a similar problem with the Cressi Leonardo? What is the fix?

    I will be bringing it back to the shop I bought it from, just want to know what to expect in case anyone has gone through this before.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    It seems to me that the computer was working correctly. Remember that deco info are dynamic and keep changing based on what compartment is controlling the dive.

    Several:
    1) take the Leonardo online class
    2) take the Introduction to Dive computers online class
    3) Play with the Leonardo with our simulator divePAL; draw a dive profile and see how it responds to it.
