3 Safety rules
1.
Before every dive, carefully inspect all elements of the equipment, including the BC. For further
information on the subject, read: “Pre-dive inspection”.
2.
Do not dive with the BC if there are signs of defective operation, damage or wear, such a BC should be
withdrawn from use until it is repaired by an authorized XDEEP distributor.
3.
During diving, perform mutual buddy-check, visually inspecting the BC against any leakages or other
irregularities. Arrange checkout procedures with your buddy and practice relevant diving signs once again
before diving.
4.
In case of an uncontrolled ascent, you should immediately start releasing air from the BC in order to stop
or slow down the rate of ascent.
5.
In order not to drown as a result of an uncontrolled descent, in all cases you should be able to use an
emergency source of buoyancy or remove the weight. The BC
CANNOT
be the only source of buoyancy!
6.
Do not use your BC to lift or bring heavy objects to the surface. Doing so may result in a serious accident
due to damage done to the BC or an uncontrolled ascent. For bringing objects heavier than 2kg, use
appropriate equipment, such as a lift bag.
7.
To prevent the BC from damage, avoid prolonged exposure of your BC to direct sunlight or extreme heat
and keep it away from sharp objects.
8.
Do not inhale air from the BC. It may contain harmful contaminants, gases, or dangerous bacteria which
evolve in damp places.
9.
A BC is not a lifejacket and does not guarantee a head-up position of the user on the surface. Therefore,
you should always dive with a buddy in case of losing consciousness on the surface.
10.
Do not lift or move the BC by pulling the inflator hose. Such practice may result in irreparable damage to
the BC.
11.
When diving in cold water (below 10 degrees Celsius), you should take into account that the inflator may
freeze, as a result of which, it may supply air in an uncontrolled way, or other irregularities in its operation
may appear. Before diving in cold water, it is necessary that you practice emergency procedures should the
inflator freeze!
