Plain-English summary

Hollis is recalling approximately 1,000 DG03 digital dive computers manufactured by Pelagic Pressure Systems of San Leandro, California. The recall involves specific units with serial numbers 100 through 1142 that are equipped with software labeled Revision 1A. These computers, which are worn on the wrist and used to measure dive time and depth, were sold through authorized Hollis dealers nationwide from July 2011 through May 2013 for about $500 each.

The recall is being issued because the dive computers, when used with an optional integrated transmitter, can malfunction and display an incorrect tank pressure reading. This error could lead a diver to unknowingly deplete their air supply, resulting in drowning. Hollis has received two reports of the computers malfunctioning, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the recalled dive computers immediately. To resolve the issue, users must upgrade the unit's operating system to revision 1B. This upgrade can be downloaded from the Hollis website, or consumers can contact an authorized Hollis dealer for assistance. For more information, consumers can contact Hollis toll-free at (888) 383-3483 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.hollisgear.com.
