Mares Nemo Air Dive Computer

Manufacturer Mares has announced a recall of defective Nemo Air dive computers.  The O-ring on the Nemo Air quick connector can fail, causing the dive computer to start leaking breathing gas, which poses a drowning hazard to the user.

According to Mares, "...this issue is covered by the EN250 norm, which requires a 0.3mm opening in the high- pressure hose fitting. As a result, the hose is designed to ensure a slow enough gas release; which should allow the diver to complete a safe emergency ascent."

The recall affects the following Mares Nemo Air dive computers:

• 414158 - Nemo Air dive computer
• 414159 - Nemo Air w/compass
• 44200771 - HP hose w/quick connector Nemo Air (spare part)
• 44200770 - Quick connector assembly female Nemo Air (spare part)

Owners of Mares Nemo Air dive computers affected by the recall should stop using the defective equipment IMMEDIATELY and contact an authorized Mares dealer or service center to have the defective O-ring replaced.
