Dive Rite Venture Wing Failure

[Pullmyfinger]

More than one company was affected by a faulty batch of OPV springs.

If yours is out of warranty, just replace it with the Deep Sea Supply OPV and upgrade more than just the spring.

Thanks for the help everyone. I spoke with Jenny at Dive Rite this morning and she was super friendly and said that she would get a replacement spring out to me immediately. :Kissy:

Jenny is a sweetheart, don't you just love her southern charm? Glad you got it taken care of.

As expected, I got the new spring last week and replaced it. Worked fine.

I have to comment on the new springs, I guess Dive Rite must have been paranoid, because the new springs look like they are made of thicker stock than other springs I have seen and they just look shinier and of better quality metal...Not sure if you can tell all that by just my looking at them, but that was my impression.

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. I have 2 wings that fall within the S N range and one of them has a rusty spring. I contacted Dive Rite about the springs and asked about purchasing some other small hardware. They sent it all out same day free of charge. Best customer service anywhere! Thank you Dive Rite
