if you open it up mate there is like a grey rod inside with copper wire around it check to see if it has broke or snapped as this happened to one of mine a few years back it would only pick up a few feet never did fix it though mate atb biza

Quick fix on the deph dial just to help you out short term.

put a white sticker over the exsisting one on the dial,measure from 1 ft to your collar and mark on sticker,then 2 ft and so on until it wont register anymore.but sounds like the carbon rod inside is cracked ...hope this helps you out abit....................steve
