Freedivers Recovery Vest Mark II-S
copyright Oceanic Safety Systems LLC., 2015
V. CUSTOM FITTING THE VEST.
Your FRV is equipped with multiple custom fitting location points.
1. Start by putting on your FRV, over your wetsuit if you use one.
2. Check and adjust the arm holes as necessary with the strap adjustments
3. Position the chest lapel pads to your side. Loosen the back straps if needed.
4. Make the front adjustments so that lapels in the upper chest angle inward giving your arms freedom.
5. Work from the front to back to achieve a snug fit that does not hinder movement or deep breathing.
6. Adjust the crotch strap by bending over.
7. In general, make the FRV fit
snugly,
but again so that it does not hinder movement or deep
breathing.
8. For most divers, there will be an excess of strap material. To enhance streamlining, we suggest
you cut the excess webbing, sear the end with a lighter and then sew the end in position with nylon
thread.
Note,
the FRV vest will fit most sizes from medium to extra large. Adjust the back center strap to the
mid-back center.

BUBBLING NOISE?
To avoid making bubbles, the
FRV is designed to shed excess and trapped air as
you descend through its mesh cover. However, if there
is air
IN
the bladder it will make a bubbling sound. To
completely remove all air, dunk the unit in the water
leaving just the over-pressure valve above water and
pull the OPV cord to vent the air.
