Shearwater has recalled approximately 900 yellow diving pressure transmitters because they can fail to signal tank pressure when two transmitters are used during the same dive. This defect means a diver could lose track of their remaining air supply without warning. The company has received one report of a transmitter losing communication during a dive. These 3-inch cylindrical yellow transmitters were sold at Dive Right In Scuba, Online Scuba, Dive Gear Express, and Shearwater.com between June 2017 and November 2018 for about $350. Consumers should stop using the recalled units immediately and contact Shearwater for a free repair or exchange.
Signal interference can occur when using two transmitters simultaneously, causing the device to stop reporting tank pressure. This prevents the diver from monitoring their air supply, creating a life-threatening drowning hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled transmitters and contact the firm to arrange a free repair or exchange of the transmitter.
