Oceanic Recalls Digital Dive Computer Due to Decompression Hazard
What was recalled
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.

This recall does not include any other Oceanic brand dive computer, or Versa Pro 2A while operated in normal decompression dive computer mode.
Hazard
