An HSE isn't made to work in CF3

That would be the pure Buhlman model.

Not sure many would choose to dive it, but you can certainly set it there.

Looks like a great idea, but before I do that to mine, does anyone know if there is a reason there is not one already there? Just thinking maybe there is no head on the shaft as it needs to back out of face.

Or in other words, once it has the attached knob it can no longer be serviced? Just a thought.

Good point. Pending an answer, I attached mine with silicon. Given the brass inserts, they hold on firmly but are still removable/
As to the sidetrack of conservatism factor, it was only set on CF3(Buhlman) because I was doing a lot of button pushing learning the unit and checking out the new buttons

Hi

I have been looking at this issue. On my unit the left button is shorter on top and longer on the bottom than the right. This seems to mean I am using excessive force to activate the left button. Could it be upside down? Can I change it by removing the topcover?

Cheers

Mark

DO NOT remove the lexan cover.. If you do you WILL have to send the unit back to Gene for recalibration.. If you pop off the cover and put it back on it will read somewhere around 12fsw while on the surface!
