  EQUIPMENT NOTICE

10/23/07

Oceanic has been notified by its supplier (ROMI, Ent.) that they have received isolated reports of DX type Regulator First Stages exhibiting uncontrolled flow of air to the Second Stage.

Evaluation has shown that a specific batch of HP (High Pressure) Seats contained material that can deteriorate and fail to properly perform its mechanical sealing (shut off) function, causing an uncontrollable free flow which could result in serious injury to or death of the user.

The affected First Stages include those that were shipped to Oceanic Retailers from the factory between May 1, 2006 and November 15, 2006. Other model DX type First Stages, such as the CDX, DXi, DX3, DX4, and TDX5, that received annual service between May 1, 2006, and October 22, 2007, may also be affected.

NOTE: Due to the random nature utilized to assign SNs (serial numbers) to First Stages, there is only a small quantity of affected units within the large range of SNs. Since the extent of listing the actual SNs of all affected units would be impractical and not user friendly, Oceanic has created a data base on the OceanicWorldwide web site that product owners and retailers can easily access to determine whether a specific First Stage is affected and if it has received the retrofit.

If you have an affected unit, you must discontinue further use of it and take it to the Oceanic Dealer where you purchased it, or a local Authorized Oceanic Service Center, for a component retrofit at no charge.

Oceanic has been notified by its supplier (Pelagic Pressure Systems) that they received isolated reports that two ATOM 2.0 Dive Computers locked into the Gas Switch-to screen and did not return to the Main Dive screen when the divers switched the units from Gas 1 to Gas d2 during dives when they were only using one Transmitter, and Pressure associated with Gas 2 was being provided by an Analog Gauge.

Affected are Oceanic ATOM 2.0 Wrist Watch Dive Computers having serial numbers 1 through 2079 that were sold between August 2006 and February 2007, and are being used for diving activities that include use of multiple gas mixes not associated with multiple transmitters

WARNING: DO NOT CONTINUE USE of the dive computers for multiple gas switching activities until the software is upgraded. Only Authorized Oceanic Dealers and their trained service technicians must perform this upgrade. Non-authorized personnel who attempt the upgrade procedure risk voiding the product's warranty and rendering the product dangerously unsafe for SCUBA use.

Note: No Atom 2 Dive Computers have been sold through Pacific Wilderness

Over-tightening of the Yoke or Din retainer during annual servicing of these regulators could result in a stress crack and failure of the regulator. If this occurs during a dive, air supply could be interrupted, posing a drowning hazard.

Scubapro® USA has been providing a service upgrade kit via the authorized dealer network since May 2005 which contains a Yoke or Din retainer that prohibits over-tightening during annual service. Consumers can easily identify if the service upgrade has been completed by counting the vents on the plastic saddle located on the regulator. If the service upgrade has not been completed, the consumer should bring the regulator to any authorized Scubapro® dealer to have the service upgrade completed free of charge.

Please go to Scubapro MK20 voluntary recall for more information.

SCUBAPRO is conducting a voluntary recall of the Air 2 Converter Kit. The converter is a plastic cylinder that permits an Air 2 Alternate Inflation Regulator to be attached to a non-SCUBAPRO buoyancy compensator.

The Air 2 Converter Kits were sold beginning October 8, 2003. They were also included in the box of the Air 2 Alternate Inflation Regulator beginning December 19, 2003. A break in the converter coupling could occur which will impact the diver's ability to control buoyancy.

For safety reasons, if you dive with an Air 2 Alternate Inflation Regulator on a non-SCUBAPRO buoyancy compensator we ask that you immediately stop use and bring your buoyancy compensator with the Air 2 intact to your Authorized SCUBAPRO Dealer for evaluation.

Please go to Scubapro Air 2 Converter voluntary recall for more information.

IF YOU ARE DIVING WITH A SCUBAPRO BUOYANCY COMPENSATOR, YOU ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL.

BCs sold prior to February 1, 2004, do not have these Inflators and are not affected.
