Has anyone ever experienced any problems with a suunto d9 while using the digital housings with strobes. I just purchased the D9 and while diving in the Galapagos the computer gave errant readings. Suunto says its an inherent problem with magnetic impulses and the computer is fine. I say BS, for $1800 the computer should work regardless of whether I'm using strobes or not. Nothing in their literature stating otherwise. Anyone have any similar experience?

Suunto D9 problems with Flash

No problems so far with my D9, I use it as a backup to my Cobra.
The strobes I am using are Nikon SB800 and 2 x Inon Z220's.

I have the L&M wiht two Sea and Sea 125's. I'm thinking that there shouldn't be a problem

I use a Vytec which I believe has a similar, if not the same, transmitter as the D9.
I must have done 150 dives with it and a camera with strobes. Never a problem.

I use D9 and Inon strobes.
I did have problems getting the correct air reading sometimes, esp in the night dives. The reading got back to normal when I stopped using my camera for awhile.

Ha that's funny, while I was waiting for my DS125's I was using 2 sea &sea ys120's when I looked at my D9 underwater the strobes would interfere with the signal to the tank and the air reading on the D9 would not read the air left, if I move my hand off the camera just a little more away from the strobe then the air would read again, when I got my 125's it never happened with them.
