Recently, my NiTek3 multi-gas mix computer has been staying in DIVE MODE after surfacing instead of returning to SURFACE MODE. I contacted DiveRite, the manufacturer, and they instructed me to rinse the unit in fresh water after surfacing. Did that, still stayed in DIVE MODE. I sent it back to them for servicing. Today they informed me that the unit worked fine in a fresh water bench test. I told DiveRite I don't dive in fresh water benches, please test the unit in the real world of salt water diving. DiveRite in Florida is two hours drive to the ocean so that wouldn't be possible. Lesson learned: the NiTek3 is potentially a good multi-gas in the water programable computer but DiveRite is brain dead when it comes to servicing. Is there another EANx computer on the market for multi-mix programing in the water other than DiveRite's NiTek3?
