QUALITY ALERT
Oceanic Diaphragm-Style Regulators Purchased or Serviced between October 1, 2017 – May 25, 2018

Dear Customer,

There exists a possibility for the Oceanic diaphragm style regulators sold or serviced between October 1, 2017 and May 25, 2018 with a new HP Poppet to significantly restrict airflow at low tank pressures (below 500 psi), posing a drowning hazard to consumers. Any regulator with the new HP Poppet must be fitted with the new style.


It is of the utmost importance that if you have a regulator model affected by this quality alert it be serviced and the pin replaced as soon as possible.


While no incidents have occurred, the possibility of an incident does exist. We strongly recommend that consumers take all necessary precautions when dealing with life support equipment.

just out of curiosity, could this problem also allow water in??? i actually had an issue with with my delta 5, which i bought brand new for my open water cert. i had it serviced after the occurrence and the dive shop said that it was due to the diaphragm not being seated properly. i believe it i bought it a few months before oct of 17
