oceanic atom and seadoo scooter


oceanic atom wireless transmitter and seadoo scooter:
the two don't seem to like each other.


when the seadoo scooter is running the transmission link is lost on the dive computer.This happened consistently throughout one night dive. Will experiment with this again soon, but it was quite clear that some sort of electrical noise from the scooter engine disturbs the atom transmission.

as soon as the scooter's engine stops, the interference stops and the computer finds the signal again. This happens even when the scooter was to my right side (was sharing the scooter with my buddy at the time) and the atom was on my right wrist.

i will try to experiment with my dive buddies a bit more and see how close the scooter needs to be to disturb the transmission (when someone else is using the scooter).
