There is the old and new version of the Uwatec bottom timer. The old
version reads below 100 meters, showing the complete number, e.g. 151
meters. The new version stops at 99.9 mtr. You can check which version you
have by looking at the logbook. The old version stores 4 dives, the new
version 9 dives.

The old Uwatec Aladin Pro reads below 100 meters, but starts from zero
again, e.g. 101 meters are displayed as 1 meter. The new Uwatec Aladin Pro
displays down to 127 meters, indicating the three digits up to this depth. 
No idea about the imperial versions.

I have seen the display go blank on two different bottom timers below 100
mtr. Both displays came alive again after some time during the dive and
even at depth. Maybe there is a hardware reason that the software now
limits the depth indication with the new version.
I have never seen or heard of depth indication problems with the old Aladin
Pro.

Regards, Reinhard

confirm from a dive on Sunday that the new Uwatec bottom timer continues   
to display 99.9 m at that depth or deeper.  Once one ascends above 99.9 m  

it correctly displays depth.  Other information such as run time   
continues to display at all times.<<
