True My Suunto is often coming on in the dive bag but its not an issue when the battery lasts three or four years, isn't responsible for firring my solenoid and has a clear battery power display.

Its a minor thing i know, but at first glance it seems a very annoying feature. In light of the battery munching nature of the unit its potential for leaving the diver without deco info and electronic solenoid operation seems to outweigh its benefit as a back up to the pressure sensor?

Of all the options posted and Emailed to me I think the idea of setting the unit to OC mode seems best to stop the solenoid firing. I don't like the idea of turning the solenoid off as i might forget to switch it back on

Plan B goes to the freezer bags

The wet switches have otehr important functions as well.. Future revisons will remove the turning on by the pressure sensor.. The periodic powering up of the digital sensor wastes more power than the old pressure sensors, also the pressure transducer wouldnt help with someone on the loop at the surface.. The wet switches are the most useful..

Even if the solenoid is OFF, should the loop go below 0.19 thje solenoid WILL fire..
