John
     I have a couple of them that are 2 years old and they read beyond
100 metres (325 ft) - I have had them at 350 ft on a few occasions with
no problems. The metric unit just drops the decimal point. The bad news
is that the new units do not operate like these, the display goes back
to zero nad then counts up, 1,2,3,4 etc. I am not sure if this is an
accurate indicator of the depth after the rollover?.
 

Regards
