Got the unit as a gift for Christmas and have only had it out a handful of times. I primarily use my deus for land and now that the seasons warmed up I've begun taking the ATP on water hunts. 2 river hunts under her belt and this weekend a beach hunt.
Spent about 4 hours off and on on dry sand and chest deep. Was submerged 0-2ft sustained for probably 2 hours. Ran somewhat decently with the factory coil, some falsing even after balancing and dropping the sens but from what I read nothing out of the ordinary.
Washed her down when I got home and put her away. Went to go out on a hunt this evening and pressed the power key. A single faint beep, all lcd signals appeared dim then faded out. Removed the batteries checked for any water intrusion from the obvious areas and can't figure it out. Just dead. Tried 3 sets of various brands of new batteries to no avail. Here she sits, quiet and sullen. Going to call garrett tomorrow and hopefully they can do something for me. I'm 3 coils and 2 headsets invested into this bugger, hate to think my waterproof machine isn't waterproof
