Recall Details

Units: About 2,500

Description: This recall involves DiveAlert and DiveAlert PLUS scuba dive signaling devices with model numbers DA2, DP2 or DV2. The signaling device is attached to the diver's buoyancy compensator device (BCD) power inflator/alternate regulator system by a chrome-plated brass coupling and is used to activate a loud surface horn or an underwater percussion noise to alert others in the event of a diver's emergency. The devices are also used in non-emergencies to get the attention of the pickup boat or other divers. The DA2 is black with an orange button, the DP2 is black with a gray knob and red button and has DiveAlert PLUS printed on it, and the DV2 is black and red. They can be used with Aqualung AirSource, Oceanic Air XS, Aeris Air Link and Mares Air Control regulator/inflators. Only these signaling devices without any stamped writing on the coupling's collar are included in this recall.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported

Sold at: Dive equipment stores nationwide from July 2009 through May 2013 for between $70 and $90.

Manufacturer: Ideations DiveAlert, of Seattle, Wash.
Manufactured in: United States
 
Well that explains why they are back ordered at both Scuba.com and LeisurePro.............
 
DiveAlert Issues Recalls on Some Models
Specifically, 2,500 of the DiveAlert and DiveAlert PLUS signaling devices with model numbers DA2, DP2 and DV2. They attach to the BCD's power inflator/alternate regulator system, and these models' female coupling poppet o-rings can come dislodged, which could result in reduced air flow. The DA2 is black with an orange button, the DP2 is black with a gray knob and red button and has DiveAlert PLUS printed on it, and the DV2 is black and red. The recall models were sold from July 2009 through May 2013 and don't have any stamped writing on the coupling's collar. Return the device to an authorized DiveAlert dealer or to DiveAlert for a free repair. You can call DiveAlert at 800-275-4332, or send an email to info@divealert.com
 
RECALL- DiveAlert DA2, DP2, & DV2

Hello all,
Just an addition to the recent post about the DiveAlert recall which you can find on our website www.divealert.com, or on the CSPC website.

To clarify, see the picture below to really pinpoint the couplings involved in the recall. If you have #1 coupling on your DA2, DP2, or DV2 your unit is being recalled. You can either take it to your local dealer for a swap out, (when the new couplings become available) or contact us for a form to send it back to us.

We want to thank you for your patience.

Dan
