Important Recall Notice

Aqualung BC Sure Lock II Weightpockets

Aqua Lung is conducting a voluntary recall of SureLock II weight pocket handles. SureLock II is the mechanical weight release system found on most Aqua Lung buoyancy compensators (BCs) beginning in 2009. Aqua Lung is concerned about the rubber handle pulling off of the plastic SureLock II weight pocket assembly. If this were to occur during a dive, the weight pocket would be left engaged inside the BC. There are no known occurrences of this happening underwater, and there have not been any reported injuries, but Aqua Lung believes that a recall is the safe and prudent thing to do. Aqua Lung has made a revision to the handle assembly that strengthens it. A revised handle is easily recognized by a thickened band of rubber at the base of the handle.
New revision identified by a band of thicker material on the underside of the handle
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using their BCs with Sure Lock II weight pockets. Bring the pockets to Waterfront Diving Center. We will replace your handles for you while you wait, as changing handles is a quick process. The replacement is made under warranty and you will not incur any charges.

If you have any questions about this recall or are unsure of which pocket you have please give us a call or stop in.

This recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
