Page 14: Operational Inspection #17 / #18
PRE-DIVE BCD EXAMINATION The pre-dive, dive, and post-dive BCD examinations help identify equipment problems before unsafe conditions exist. Equipment- related diving accidents can be prevented by following these sim- ple steps and having all equipment regularly inspected by an authorized scuba equipment repair facility. VISUAL INSPECTION Examine the entire BCD for cuts, punctures, frayed seams. - Page 15 OPERATIONAL INSPECTION (cont.) Your H2Odyssey BCD is equipped with TWO (2) OPV’s. One (1) is located on the LOWER RIGHT SIDE of your BCD. The other on the INFLATOR HOSE. To check the LOWER RIGHT SIDE OPV, inflate BCD until FIRM and pull on cord light- ly coming out of OPV.
- Page 16 DIVE BCD EXAMINATION and PROCEDURES This is the final BCD check before you begin your actual dive. The examination can be performed on the beach, on the boat, or on the water's surface next to the boat. OPERATIONAL INSPECTION After your gear is assembled and you have put your BCD and scuba cylinder on, perform the following operational check.
- Page 17 POST DIVE BCD EXAMINATION and PROCEDURES With proper care your BCD should provide many years of use. Maintenance procedures are as follows: AFTER DIVING: Rinse the BCD thoroughly inside and out with fresh water after every use. Use the following procedure: A) Fill the BCD inner bladder approximately one fourth full of fresh water.
- Page 18 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat. The ultraviolet rays of the sun will shorten the life span of the BCD materials.
