3.

Add the “Ice-dive Kit” (31724-51) for the MK III regulator reserve air
handle.

Recommendations during the dive

1.

Repeatedly check the function of the reserve air handle by pushing and
pulling the handle, checking that it is still possible to move from D to C
position and back to D.
(Some reserve valves have a locking ring so they cannot switch to  C .)

2.

Use a Divator DP1 surface supply together with the regulator for extra
safety.

3.

Use a higher "abort dive" pressure than 55 bar (level for reserve air
warning).

Surface supply

Pre dive

1.

Dry the P+ regulator and hose by using the vent handle before the dive to
remove any moisture from the system.  

2.

Perform the function test of the reserve valve described in the manual
before each dive.

3.

Check that the whistle warning is working.

Recommendations during the dive

1.

Surface: 

Repeatedly monitor the pressure gauge as the whistle warning

on the Surface supply might not work if it is wet and frozen.

2.

Diver: 

Repeatedly monitor the pressure to make sure that the "Bail out" air

pressure is not falling (changing).
