the top of the shoulder assembly. The side release QR buckle in the
centre chest is designed to be adjusted from both sides to keep it
centered. There is an elastic loop on the webbing to control excess
webbing length.
Cummerbund – The cummerbund can be adjusted for length on
both sides where it attaches to the cylinder backpack. Peel back the
hook and loop fastener on each cummerbund side and adjust the
length longer or shorter until the right amount of fold over at the
front of the BC makes the cummerbund snug.
Note:
Make sure you make this adjustment while wearing the same
wetsuit or dry suit & underwear combination you will be wearing on
the dive.
INTEGRATED WEIGHT SYSTEM
All BARE BCs are equipped with an Integrated Weight System to
allow convenient management and emergency release of ballast
weights.
There are three sets of pockets on the BCs where weights can be
placed, but only one set with quick release capability.
Main Weight System – There are two releasable main weight pock-
ets. These pockets hold between 10-15 pounds (4.54 – 6.8 Kg) each,
depending on size and model of BC chosen. (see details pages for
specific amounts)
Each pocket has a weight pouch with a large flap secured with Hook
& Loop fasteners.
Remove the weight pouch from the pocket with a sharp tug on the
grey handle.
Undo the pocket flap and insert the desired amount of bagged lead
shot or solid weights.
Environmental note – If you choose to use lead shot, please make
sure the shot pack is sealed and waterproof to avoid the possibility
of lead-tainted liquid leaking into the water.
Once the weight pouches are loaded, secure the flap by pressing
firmly on the Hook & Loop fasteners.
The loaded weight pouches may be inserted into the pockets after
donning the assembled BC and cylinder set-up.
Slide the weight pouch into the pocket and connect the male side of
the Side Release Quick-Disconnect buckle on the weight pouch with
the female side on the BC pocket.
The weight pouch is now secured in the pocket until you choose to
disengage the buckle with another sharp tug on the grey handle.
