Product Description

The recall involves Oceanic-brand Versa Pro 2A dive computers with serial numbers 12000 through 18176, which can be accessed and viewed on the computer's display. The serial number and "r2A" are printed on the side of the unit.

Reason for Recall

When using the dive computer set for "User Selected Digital Gauge Mode," the "Elapsed Dive Time" displayed can exceed the actual elapsed time under water. This can cause divers to ascend before fulfilling a decompression obligation, resulting in decompression sickness.
