Esse,
You said:

"Great diving inspiration worked great but one sensor got wet and acted up.
Stopped diving CCR for a day and dried it up. Then it worked again so I put
it down to water on the sensors."

and,

"The shoot went according to plan and 20 minutes in we were at the aft
filming the name, when the same sensor starts acting up again. A short cell
error here and there.  OK -back to the line."

and,

"We were on our way back to the line when I saw that the sensors showed
things like 1.34 1.36 1.27 and these figures, crawling up to 1.42 1.35 1.28.
Now I am getting worried..."

then, after accidentally adding oxygen instead of dilutant to the loop,
state,

"How did I do this mistake. F*** If I know. Complete BrainBomb. There is no
way I can explain the action."

My question is: How can you possibly relax and concentrate on the dive with
equipment that does this stuff? Do you ever implicitly trust it or are your
dives more of a whistling-in-the-dark thing?
I'm glad you made it back but I think there's something more fundamentally
wrong here than just "oops".
