Warning: That cheap dive computer from Amazon almost got me in trouble off the Texas coast last week

I was super skeptical of my buddy's fancy Shearwater, but after my $150 no-name screen went blank at 90 feet and I had to buddy-breathe back up, I finally caved and bought one. Has anyone else had a budget computer fail on them mid-dive?

My buddy had a cheap one die on him at 60 feet off Florida last year. The thing just went black with no warning and he had to borrow my spare computer for the rest of our trip. We both switched to better gear after that and never looked back.

Wait, 60 feet off Florida? That's not super deep but still, man, that's sketchy. You gotta have something reliable down there, @mason_knight.
