Flawed diving computer puts users at risk of harm


According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, a manufacturer of dive computers has been hiding a dangerous secret for seven years. A secret that likely was the cause of significant injury for at least four people and a potential safety hazard for others.

The article claims that Uwatec (subsidiary of Johnson Outdoors, Inc.) has known about the error for some time and has refused to issue a recall for the gear.
