RAINING
The ADV may be used by any diver but it is assumed that whoever is diving with the
scooter has obtained the necessary certification issued by qualified certification agency. At
any rate,
use of the ADV implies that the user has undergone specific training
that
permits him to use the scooter safely and to fully appreciate its potential. Do not forget that
the greatest danger is constituted by the underwater environment being explored.

QUIPMENT CONFIGURATION AND RIDING POSITION
SUEX S.r.l.
diving scooters are TOW BEHIND style
(as opposed to a “ride-on-top” which must be straddled) and
ideally
the diver should be
towed behind the ADV.
READ CAREFULLY! The ADV should not be improperly bound to the diver.
The user
should be able to abandon the ADV at all times and with extreme ease. The ADV must be
connected to the diver by a cord and quick-release carabineer. The diver should always
carry a sharp knife on dives to manage emergency situations including that of cutting the
cord and abandoning the scooter.
Proper ways to connect the ADV to the diver.
The tow cord should be suitable dimensioned. Use of a 4 – 6 mm cord made of non-
decaying synthetic material, in good working order and with at least 100 kg haulage
capacity is considered correct.
The carabineer must be made of rustproof material in good working conditions and
equipped with an easy to grasp opening device. It must also be usable with gloves. The
carabineer should be connected to the harness or “D” ring of the technical buoyancy
compensators.
