Pelagic Pressure Systems has issued a recall for nearly 2,800 dive computers, the Oceanic-brand ATOM 2.0 and EPIC-brand AERIS. The decompression hazard comes from an issue reported where on switching from one gas to another at depth, the dive computer’s display can lock up and not return to the screen showing dive times.
Pelagic received reports of two defective computers, but no injuries have been reported. If you have one of these computers, with a serial number within the range of #0001-#2079 for the Oceanic ATOM 2.0, or #001-#712 for the EPIC AERIS, bring it to an authorized Oceanic or AERIS dealer for a free software upgrade that fixes the issue.
