Diving with two Garmin computers.

I just bought a new Descent X50i. I dive with two computers : X50i as main computer Descent MK2i as backup computer. Problems I have met with:
- After a dive, the Garmin Dive app shows one dive as two separate activities.
- Cannot pair one transmitter on both computers. On one it works as MY TANK and on the 2nd computer as ANOTHER DIVER.
Garmin specifies both computers as tec computers. Is it possible that they forgot that when tec diving we have to dive with two computers?

    I think that they forgot or assume that you will use two dive computers different brands, what is not so bad idea to be honest.
    I think you should post your idea here: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

    don’t know the answer to question one. I would assume you could delete one of the dives from the app but I am not sure if that will erase on the computer.

    question 2  yes you can pair 1 transmitter with 2 computers.  I have 2 t-1 transmitters and 3 t-2 transmitters paired with my x50i and Mk2i.   all are my tanks.  Just followed the method for pairing. It will ask if it is your tank and if you should include in sac/rmv.I can’t remember anything specific other than when I was pairing with one computer the other computer was turned off.  For the t-1 I had to name the transmitter on both computers.  The t-2 displayed my custom name when pairing with the second computer.  If you are side mount and using two t-2 transmitters one will be “marked” as primary - this is for texting.  so when pairing pair you primary side mount tank first.
