Oceanic Digital Dive Computer recall: Decompression Hazard
Oceanic Recalls Digital Dive Computer Due to Decompression Hazard
Why was Oceanic Digital Dive Computer recalled?
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.
