•
Avoid prolonged exposure to sun and extreme heat to prevent deterioration of the outer
fabric and damage to welded seams.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged use in water that is heavily treated with pool chemicals to
prevent premature decay of fabric.
•
To prevent damage to the bladder, do not allow Atlantis to chafe against sharp or rough
objects and do not set or drop heavy objects on jacket.
• Avoid contact with oil, gasoline or other solvents.
•
The Rapid Exhaust Valve (REV) only requires .25 in (7mm) of travel to exhaust air. Excessive
force is not required.
•
To prevent premature damage from corrosion, salt crystals or chlorine attack,
thoroughly
rinse the Atlantis and components inside and out with fresh water at the end of each diving
day using the following procedure:

______ 1. Remove the oral inflator assembly from the Atlantis by unscrewing the collar
at the base of the dual valve. Thoroughly rinse the inflator assembly inside
and out with fresh water. Hang oral inflator assembly (dual valve end down)
utilizing the oral inflator cord to allow complete drainage and drying.
______ 2. Direct fresh water into the REV opening to rinse the interior of the Atlantis.
______ 3. Remove the two cylinder connections and the drain caps. Rinse thoroughly.
Allow water to drain out of the bladder. Allow the Atlantis to dry overnight before
reinstalling cylinder valve connectors, caps and oral inflator assembly.
______ 4. Ensure no water remains inside bladder. Reinstall cylinder valve connectors,
caps and oral inflator assembly. Inflate the Atlantis, let it sit for 10 minutes to
check for leaks.
______ 5. Store the Atlantis deflated in a clean, dry area away from extreme temperatures:
no greater than 120˚F/49˚C and no less than 0˚F/-18˚C.
WArNiNg:
Failure to completely rinse the airway, will cause premature metal corrosion that
can cause the airway to fail and can result in serious injury or death.
