Dive Rite takes the safety of our consumers very seriously. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Dive Rite is issuing a voluntary recall on various Dive Rite Wings.

The Over Pressurization Valve (OPV) springs found on Dive Rite wings manufactured between June 2006 and October 2008 may rust and fail allowing the buoyancy compensator devices to lose gas and pose a drowning hazard. The wings may be red, blue or black in color and have serial numbers falling between 42000 and 72000. The following models are affected by this recall: Travel, Venture, Rec, Trek, Classic, Nomad and Super Wings. It does not affect EXP or 360-branded wings. The recall does not affect lift bags, surface marker tubes or other Dive Rite inflatable devices.

Due to the serious implications of an OPV spring failure, consumers should stop using the recalled diving equipment and have the OPV spring immediately replaced by a Dive Rite authorized dealer or distributor.

Dive Rite will provide replacement OPV springs to all Dive Rite authorized dealers and distributors for all affected wings that have been sold and/or are brought in for service. Dive Rite will replace these springs free of cost. To replace them, please contact us or Dive Rite directly.

To comply with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, we must ask for all recalled springs, which are replaced, to be returned to Dive Rite for proper destruction. Dive Rite will pay the cost for standard shipping, United States Postal Service shipping of these recalled and replaced springs. In addition, each dealer or distributor must document the number of individuals who have received a replacement spring and repair from your business. Dive Rite must report this information to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
