Product description

The recall includes the Dacor Darwin Air dive computer with serial numbers 3265 through 3415, and the Dacor Darwin Console dive computer with serial numbers 8503 through 8592. The serial number will appear on the dive computer screen after removing and reinserting the batteries.

Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled diving computers and return the computers to an authorized Dacor dealer for a free repair.
