If you go >deeper, it just leaves an arrow pointing down. The Solution has a maximum working depth of 325 FSW. You are correct in that the graph shows a max of 140 ' (I would have preferred a digital depth/max depth indicator). There are a few ways to piss the solution off, but they're pretty extreme. For example, it will enter ERR mode if you dive deeper than 325' (you have 15 seconds to ascend to less than 325' before the computer will enter ERR mode). I believe it will also enter ERR mode if you blow off a required deco stop. I think that entering ERR mode will require you to stay out of the water for 24 hours, however, the computer will still provide profile and decompression information (possibly useful for treatment). >> Also heard good things about the Aladin, but also heard it was prone to give >> annoying beeps for just about any non-PADI behavior :-) Is this true? >Well, they are very obnoxous if you are not following the computer.

Well, some people will still use air computers for nitrox dives for a large extra margin of safety (but you said mixed, not nitrox). I have used the Solution for several years (I bought one fairly early on) and have been pleased with it. The "2 year" battery has worked fine for me for well over it's rated lifespan. I plan on getting it serviced (i.e. battery replaced) this winter. -Carl-
