Subject: Re: Nemesis II Nitrox/Beuchat Maestro Pro - Battery Life
Ive done about 150 dives on the nemesis, I find it works well but have
had to replace the batteries regularly. It certainly does not give the
hours that the paperwork says.
I have recently had some trouble with the wrist unit turning off during
the dive, a few clonks and taps seem to bring it back. I would suggest
that you cut hard tables and have them with you.In fact Mike I think it
cut out on one of the dives I did with you. In message
