Guardian is recalling about 900 full-face diving masks. If significant pressure is applied vertically to the top and bottom of the visor clamp, the clear plastic visor may dislodge causing the mask to flood.
Ocean Technology Systems has received three reports of visors dislodging. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves the Guardian full-face mask, which is a scuba diving mask that incorporates the second stage regulator into the mask allowing it to cover the diver's full face.
The masks were sold by direct sales and diving equipment retailers nationwide from March 2009 through August 2009 for $800.
Consumers should immediately stop using the diving masks and contact Ocean Technology Systems to receive a free repair. Ocean Technology Systems is providing consumers stainless steel clamps to secure the plastic visor.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
