Virginia Scuba

Another great weekend! Thank you to our Try Scuba and Skill Update participants. Thank you to our Try Scuba students, we look forward to seeing you become divers. Welcome back to our Skill Updates, it is lake time now!
We also proudly announce the completion of John and Babs' Assistant Instructor Trainer Seminar. That was several days of a lot of work. You have shown great improvement and look forward to seeing you shape the next generation of scuba instructors!!

We know it is only 2026, but who wants to explore the crystal clear waters of Palau in 2029? The boat pictured will hold 16 of us for 10 days! We should see spawning, lots of different sharks, tons of macro stuff and we can even go ashore and tour some World War II sites while we're there. Let us know if you are interested so we know whether or not to proceed with reserving the boat.

Busy weekend at the lake and the shop! Please welcome Animka as out newest Open Water diver. There were also a few dive club members just enjoying a relaxing time underwater. At the shop, John and Babs had two very busy days working toward their Assistant Instructor Trainer rating. More to come on that next weekend.

Hey Everyone! Unfortunately our internet has been out all day, which also means our phone system is also down. Sorry if you have tried to call and haven't been able to get through! The shop IS open though, so feel free to stop by!

The shop is putting in an order on Tuesday, May 26th for some shorts, a rashguard and a hat!

ALSO, for any shark themed things purchased, they donate to the Saving our Sharks Foundation!! The products are also UPF 50.

200LX 2ND STAGE BLK

Affected Purchase Window: Units purchased between May 2, 2017, and May 15, 2025, may be affected.

Reason for this notice:

Huish Outdoors has received reports of internal components within certain Hollis 200LX second stage regulators separating or fracturing before or after a dive.

Our investigation indicates that some units may exhibit reduced impact resistance, particularly if the second stage is dropped or struck on the adjustable inhalation k**b. In these cases, damage to the inlet tube assembly could render the second stage non-functional.

While no incidents have been reported during an active dive, this condition could pose a drowning hazard if it were to occur in use. As a precaution, we are issuing this Stop Use notice while we complete our technical review and prepare a corrective remedy.
Required Actions:

1. End Users:

Do not dive with the affected regulator.
Remove it from service immediately.
Do not attempt to repair, modify, or continue using the product.

2. Dealers and Distributors globally:

Stop selling and shipping all affected 200LX second stages.
Quarantine existing inventory.
Do not return product unless instructed by Huish Outdoors.
Notify your customers.

Remedy (Next Steps):

Huish Outdoors is finalizing:

The required replacement parts, and
A standardized retrofit procedure to be performed by authorized technicians.

A follow-up notice will be issued shortly with:

Parts availability,
Dealer repair instructions, and
Customer support process by region.

If you have any questions about this notice until a follow-up is issued, please contact us directly at [email protected].
