PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

BC 1 is a modular design buoyancy compensator consisting of three major
components: harness, bladder and waistband w/ integrated weight system. Its
rugged design makes it a perfect choice for military or public safety diving ap-
plications. Some specific features include stainless steel hardware, reinforced
backpack, adjustable waistband, knife grommets, crotch strap attachment points,
john line ring and removable backpad.
The doughnut shaped bladder allows for air flow migration and improved stabil-
ity. External retraction bands reduce the divers in-water profile by keeping the
bladder close to the body. The removable bladder can be swapped out when a
replacement is needed.

BASIC SETUP

Aqua Lung recommends that you take your buoyancy compensator, together
with your regulator, to your Authorized Aqua Lung Dealer or Distributor for the
installation of the MP inflator hose and other accessories. The retailer can also
answer any questions you may have pertaining to the information in this manual.
If it is not possible to return the BC with your regulator to a Authorized Aqua
Lung Dealer or Distributor, you may install the MP quick disconnect inflator hose
by carefully performing the steps in the following procedure.
NOTE: The terms "Hook & Loop" are used throughout this manual. Hook
& Loop is commonly known as Velcro®, which is a trademarked brand of
hook & loop. Some of the BC components have hook & loop attachments.
