14 Operation 

 

Buoyancy on the surface 

In  order  to  ensure  maximum  buoyancy  on  the  surface,  before  getting  into  the  water  (or  directly  after 
ascending) inflate the BC using inflator button. Stop inflating the BC when the automatic dump valve activates. 

 

 

 

Descent 

In  order  to  descend,  press  the  purge  button  holding  the  inflator  over  your  head.  Use  the  purge  button  with 
care, as releasing too much air may result in an uncontrolled descent. 

 

Neutral buoyancy 

Maintain neutral buoyancy for a given depth during the dive, using the inflator and purge buttons as needed.  

In order to ensure precise control over buoyancy you should press the inflator button for a short moment. If 
more air needs to be added to the BC, press the inflator button for a short moment several times. 

During release of air from the BC hold the inflator over your head, so the air may escape freely. 

 

Ascent 

Ascending too quickly may result in decompression sickness. Therefore you must control the rate of ascent by 
gradually releasing the expanding air from the BC with the purge button.

  

 

 

Before jumping into deep water from a boat or a bank inflate the BC using the inflator button. Getting into 

water with the BC not fully inflated may result in drowning! 

Danger! 

Ascending or reducing the depth level too quickly may result in decompression sickness (DCS). Always pay 

adequate attention to buoyancy control and respect the ascent rate limits. 

Danger!
