CRESSI-SUB JACKETS WITH ID
HOSE
Congratulations on your choice! This product, which is
the result of continuous research and development, is
made in compliance with CRESSI-SUB quality standard,
thus ensuring pleasant and absolutely safe diving.
GENERAL WARNINGS
You must be trained in buoyancy compensation from a
qualified diving instructor before using this product.
The use of the device by people without qualification is
very dangerous and can cause serious injury or death.
CRESSI-SUB recommends to read this manual before
using the jacket.
A recognized diving qualification is always required.
INTRODUCTION
The CRESSI-SUB jackets are certified to reach a depth
of 50 mt, as prescribed in the CE standard, having
passed the required tests.
These devices are very important to dive with air regulator
and tanks because they provide buoyancy control by
inflating or deflating, thus changing the diver's buoyancy.
For this reason, they are also called BCDs, that is
Buoyancy Compensating Devices.
Their rapid development has known a range of very
different models, and they have nowadays taken the
form of a life jacket, very easy to put on.
WARNING!
THIS IS NOT A LIFEJACKET AND DOESN'T
ASSURE AT THE SURFACE A HEAD UP
POSITION.
COMPONENTS
All CRESSI-SUB jackets have been designed to assure a
perfect fit and comfort in most situations.
The use of high quality and strong materials, such as the
famous "CORDURA 1000", the high-frequency weldings
and the double seams made from nylon thread assure
the longest duration of the product.
Some weldings are located in a strategic position in order
to control inflation and deflation in order to assure the
best buoyancy.
The very comfortable and functional newly designed
pockets allow to house such accessories as cameras, etc.
All jackets are equipped with special lateral weight-holding
pockets which, in case of emergency, allow to quickly
eject weights. Depending on models, either gravity
systems (automatic ejection of the weight after manual
release of the safety buckle) or C-Trim systems (manual
ejection of the special weight-holding bag) are used.
The special design of the jacket allows to rationally
arrange all diving instruments (octopus, gauge, torches,
compass...) through many buckles and springclips,
making the dive easier.
BACK-PIECE
Its most important function is to provide a correct
connection between the tank and the BCD, and then
between BCD and diver.
