i used my petrel for the first time today. just a few short dives in a shallow lake, max depth was 7, averaged around 4m metres for 30 minutes..
when surfacing, we didn't really do a safety stop as the entire dive was around 4metres apart from the one little dip to 7m.
on the surface my petrel came up "error low pp02" .. why was that?
I'm in recreational mode, using air. Haven't changed any settings other than the basics like units and the dive log number.. The high pp02 is at the default 1.4.
I also had an issue where the dives started so shallow the computer didn't recognise I was diving. How deep do you need to go for it to go into dive mode? Initially the lake is only about 2-3m deep so it didn't go into dive mode for at least 10 minutes below the surface.
On one dive the computer auto turned off just as I was entering the water. I turned it on but I think the depth registered the surface as actually being about 2m down. Because it didn't go into dive mode until I went down to about 3m and then it said I was at 1.5m.
thank you.
