The short answer

Announced by CPSC on Jun 22, 2006. Copied from CPSC on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

When using the dive computer set for “User Selected Digital Gauge Mode,” the “Elapsed Dive Time” displayed can exceed the actual elapsed time under water. This can cause divers to ascend before fulfilling a decompression obligation, resulting in decompression sickness.
