Do You Recall a Recall?
Dale,
First, love your paper. It always gives me a reason to hit the dive shop to pick up a new copy every month and buy that something I always need. Now to my question: I recall there being a notice that there was a recall on a Dive Planner; don’t remember if it was the wheel or the rec dive planner. Know anything of this? Friends tell me I’m nuts. I’ve got pizzas and beers riding on your answer.

Thanks
Paul

Paul,
I think I found it—from our May 2003 issue. I hope it helps.

Dive Tables Recalled
PADI recently discovered printer errors in certain Recreational Dive Planners (RDPs). The problems may appear in six (6) versions of the RDP, including both air and enriched air tables. These tables may be included in Open Water and Enriched Air Crew Paks, book and table combinations, CD-ROM combinations and individual tables shipped between 1 October 2002 and 31 January 2003.

While analysis of the problems shows that the risk of injury from the errors is remote, for the sake of safety, we ask that you immediately check any RDP that you purchased or received during this period. Do not plan your dives using any of these tables.
Instructions on how to check your table(s) and a complete list of product numbers and production codes is located at http://www.padi.com/rdprecall or you may take your table to any PADI Dive Center/Resort.
