Oceanic has asked for our assistance with notifying our customers of a voluntary recall of their Versa Pro computer. This recall only affects Version 2A and only when that computer is used in "Gauge Mode"as opposed to "Air Mode" or "Nitrox Mode"

If this affects you and your computer. Please discontinue the use of "User Selected Digital Gauge Mode" and return the computer for an upgrade.

The following explanation of the problem has been reprinted from an Oceanic Dealer E- mail:>"Elapsed Dive Time" during normal operation, as a decompression dive computer does not display the additional time and is not of concern, only during operation when set for Digital Gauge Mode. None of the other revisions of the Versa Pro nor any other Oceanic dive computer is affected, only the Versa Pro 2A and only when operating in Digital Gauge Mode.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

If you were certified prior to 1996 or so, you may have never heard of Nitrox. Nitrox diving has definitely come of age. Divers all over the world are breathing Nitrox as a way of safely extending their bottom time.

What is Nitrox anyway?

Nitrox is air that has been infused with oxygen or has had nitrogen taken out of it.

What does that mean to me?

When you breathe Nitrox as opposed to air, you can safely extend your dive time with regard to your no- decompression limit. That means...more photos, more fish, more awesome diving moments!

Why do I need special training?

Higher levels of oxygen need to be handled with special care. We will train you how to work with Nitrox and safely extend your bottom time.

Does it make a tank last longer?

Nitrox does not put more air in your tank or make the air in your tank last longer. It simply replaces some of nitrogen with oxygen so that your body accumulates less nitrogen, and therefore lets you stay down longer.

When are the classes?

Adventure Aquarium welcomed illusionist David Blaine with open fins when he dove into the aquarium's 550,000-gallon Shark Realm exhibit to film part of his training and preparation for his upcoming special, "DAVID BLAINE: DROWNED ALIVE". David Blaine and his production staff arrived at the top of the Aquarium's Shark Realm and consulted with Aquarium husbandry staff on procedures and animal care before free diving into the man-made Shark Realm, home to over 25 sharks including Sandbar, Sand Tiger and Nurse sharks. The crew filmed for four hours and Aquarium guests and staff watched Blaine dive again and again, surrounded by sharks.

Be sure to watch as he will, once again, put his life on the line in a death-defying attempt to hold his breath underwater longer than any human being, currently a stunning eight minutes, 58 seconds! Viewers will hold their collective breath during the heart-stopping finale of the broadcast when Blaine will put himself to the ultimate test - live - on the new, two-hour ABC primetime special, "David Blaine: Drowned Alive."
