  • Brand Pelagic Pressure Systems, of San Leandro, Calif.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Hollis is recalling certain DG03 dive computers that can malfunction when used with an optional integrated transmitter designed to monitor tank pressure. The malfunction causes the dive computer to display an incorrect air pressure reading, which could lead a diver to unknowingly run out of air underwater and drown. The recall affects DG03 models with serial numbers 100 through 1142 that are currently running software Revision 1A. These are round black wrist-worn computers approximately 2-1/2 inches in diameter with a digital display and the product name printed on the front.

Consumers who own affected dive computers should stop using them until they upgrade the operating system to revision 1B. The upgrade can be downloaded from Hollis's website or obtained through an authorized Hollis dealer.
