I can't find the answer in the manual. I figure I will save battery life. Have no idea how. Thanks

It's a watch in addition to being a computer. I don't think OFF is an option. I change batteries less than once a year. Not a big deal.

Thanks I was wondering if that was it. Still, I would have liked to turn it off -- and maybe change the battery every couple of years.
It is not possible

Hey Chavodel8en,
The annual battery service kit for the GEO 2.0 is about $22. Plus the battery is user replaceable. If you're worried about the battery eventually dying on you on a dive there is a low battery indicator on the GEO that will give you plenty of advanced notice. If you keep a service kit handy for when that low battery signal flashes you can switch out the battery before your next dive.

If it's the same as my 100 It is a common battery from the drug store "cr3925" or something like that. It also does a hot swap. If you can swap it in like 5 seconds or something there is no data loss. It should be user replacable and pretty simple. You will find directions in the manual. Be careful that the seal is correct so you don't flood it.
As far as turning it off. You do that by throwing it in your bag and waiting a couple hours.

The GEO 2.0 will still retain settings and logs without needing a "hot swap." The battery can be changed at a leisurely pace 
Also, the battery is a CR2430 and you can pick these up at any radio shack or CVS, but the kit comes with an essential o-ring that is wise to replace on a yearly basis with the battery.

Take the battery out and it will turn off. How much power are you really going to save? And when you got it wasn't off any way it was running in sleep mode.
