Folks, disaster has struck. I went for a water hunt this weekend and after a few hours I noticed a little condensation in the bottom right corner of the screen, which slowly turned into drops and then a flood. The funny thing was the screen went blank but the detector kept functioning. I turned it off and finished the hunt. There's no sign of any water out the headphone port, so I assume a seal some where else has failed.
This marks 2 years from purchase, I wonder if we're about to see a run of D2's with flooding issues and a common fault, or if I'm just super unlucky. I use my D2 underwater a lot so I'm probably pushing it harder than most.
The good news is this brought the excal out of retirement, only 1 ear piece is working and it feels like I'm swinging a tank compared to the D2, but it snagged me a 1.4g 18k ring this morning. Might be time to think about upgrading the headphone situation, does anyone make a thick heavy set that can block sound underwater?
I've sent the control pod off to the dealer, I'll be sure to let everyone know how the returns process goes.
