I have a Suunto Stinger which in almost all respects, I find to be a very fine piece of equipment, and an absolute bargain for what I paid for it on e bay bit but it did come without the instructions an I was wondering if anyone out there can help with a bit of a problem that I seem to be having with it.
I never seem to have this problem when I stay shallow, but when I come up after deep dive it flashes that I’m too “slow”, in fact, the alarm goes off sometimes and it tells me that I have to stay out and not do a second dive, not that I ever take any notice of it because I’m sure it’s wrong;.
Anyway, I’ve tried just about everything to come up faster but it keeps on telling me that I’m slow, even in big capitals, “SLOW”, and I can’t think of what to do to come up any faster. I was thinking of inflating my jacket thing and my dry suit at the same time, would holding my breath as well make any difference? When I ran this past a friend once, all he said was “what were you doing when you did your OW”, whatever that stands for.
I was thinking of asking Best Buddy but I believe that he uses a Gekko – has a bigger display screen for his advanced years and failing eyesight.
If anyone could give me the benefit of their hours of experience, I would appreciate it
