I was at Beneath The Sea today, and found out from scientific literature being distributed by Inner Space Systems (ISC) that advanced testing performed on the Hammerhead revealed some failures when subjected to an Electromagetic Pulse (EMP), most commonly associated with nuclear explosions!

Therefore do not dive this unit while nuclear explosions are underway nearby! The secondary may exhibit intermittant false readings!

Doesn't underwater welding involve EMP fields as well?
