Page 11: Pre-Dive Inspection Check List
PRE-DIVE INSPECTION check list It is essential to perform a complete pre-dive inspection of your OCB mouthpiece before every dive. NEVER dive with any diving equipment that shows signs of damage, debris, loose connections or unsatisfactory performance. As this valve has 2 modes, OC and CC, both modes must be checked prior to diving as well as the switch-over. - Page 12 PRE-DIVE INSPECTION check list Cont… Therefore, when blowing into the right hand side hose connector the non- return valve will close and it should open when air is sucked from the connector. The non-return valve on the other end of the mouthpiece inner tube should close when air is sucked from the left hand connector and open when air is blown into the connector.

If the system is depressurised and the gauge indicates a pressure, the gauge must be replaced before diving. 13. SLOWLY open the cylinder valve to pressurise the OCB mouthpiece. Continue to open the valve anti-clock-wise until the valve is fully open.

Page 14: Diving With Nitrox
Diving With Nitrox Your OCB mouthpiece has been prepared for use with 100% oxygen. This is possible because each OCB is built to a high standard of cleanliness using oxygen compatible components and lubricants. In addition, each OCB mouthpiece has passed stringent adiabatic compression testing to ensure its safety and compatibility with increased percentages of oxygen. -
Page 15: Cold Water Diving
Cold Water Diving The C.E.N. standards define cold water as 10°C or lower. In such conditions, particularly in fresh water, which has a higher freezing point and more severe thermoclines, there is a risk of freeze-up resulting in free flow and a rapid loss of gas. -
