What brand transmitter/computer?
Currently Suunto but it happened with my Mares. After thinking about the signal interference this morning I reached out to the local FB dive group and it turns out it happens to other divers as well. One Shearwater diver can get his wireless AI system running setting up on a grassy area further inland, then looses connection when he crosses the rocky area shoreside, it reconnects once he's started diving and about 10m off shore. It's also an area where cell service disappears but if you head a bit inland over the sand and grass it reappears. It's an iron rich rock area and a meteor strike crater lake... makes for some odd magnetic properties.
