ICON HD - Really sensitive to ascents??

[AlanH]

Hi !

I have an ICON HD (FW1.14) and I just wondered if other users had noticed how sensitive it is in ascent?

I only have to lift my arm up to dump air and it records a very fast ascent! I think nearly every dive has the maximum ascent at 18 to 25m / min even though all the ascents have been slow and controlled..

Do I have a faulty unit?? Or is this normal?

Hope to hear from some other users!

I own a Puck and have the same 'issue'. Yes, the algorithm is quite conservative, but the good news is that your computer is probably not faulty. You might wanna try and wear the computer on your other wrist. Helped me, cuz I don't make a lot of gestures with my other arm while diving.
