Halcyon SCUBA Buoyancy Compensator (BC) Inflators

Published March 12, 2025 · Recall initiated: September 2, 2004

What's the hazard

The SCUBA BC bladder can have a slow leak because of imperfections within the machining of the stainless air barrel of their inflators. This can cause unexpected buoyancy problems with divers, possibly resulting in decompression sickness.

What to do

Consumers should stop using these BCs immediately and contact Halcyon for information on receiving a free repair.
