Shearwater yellow diving pressure transmitters
Pelagic Pressure Systems, of San Leandro, Calif.
The transmitters can fail to signal the tank pressure due to interference while using two transmitters in the same dive. This poses a drowning hazard to divers.
Oceanic and AERIS Digital Dive Computers
Pelagic Pressure Systems, of San Leandro, Calif.
When performing a switch from one gas to another during a dive, the dive computer's display will lock up and not return to the main dive screen that displays dive times. This can cause divers to enter decompression unknowingly or the diver could ascend prematurely, resulting in decompression sickness.
Oceanic-brand Reliant Buoyancy Compensator (BC) Inflators and AERIS-brand AW3 BC Inflators
Pelagic Pressure Systems, of San Leandro, Calif.
Inflator buttons can stick, which can cause uncontrolled inflation of the BC. This could cause divers to ascend too fast, resulting in decompression sickness as well as the danger of an embolism.
