Regulator Hose

The supply hose that attaches the 1st and 2nd stage regulators together 
should be of sufficient length to allow full movement of the head when 
the pod is secured to the mask. Ensure the hose is secured to the demand 
regulator inlet and the 1st stage, when testing for the correct length. A 
special swivel attachment P/N 305-017 (included) may be attached to 
the demand regulator or BOV. This swivel allows a better fairlead of the 
intermediate hose and less restriction in head movement.

CAUTION

Do not dive with a low pressure regulator hose connected 

to the regulator/BOV that is too short. Using a hose that is 

too short will put unnecessary stress on pod and regula-

tor/BOV, resulting in restricted head movement and could 

increase difficulty of sealing the pod to the mask. These 

factors can decrease the comfort of the diver which could 

lead to an accident and injury.

Head Harness Removal and Installation

The standard SuperMask

®

 mask strap is a four point semi-stretch head 

harness with a quick release buckle, P/N 805-031.

The head harness has four straps branching out from a circular junction 
that terminates into a quick release buckle. The female end has a neoprene 
sleeve for diver’s comfort while the male end is uncovered. Each strap leg 
has many buckle adjustment “teeth”. Keep in mind that these teeth should 
be against the divers head before being threaded into the buckle assembly 
and the smooth surface should face outward.

Strap Keepers

Each of the four straps has a strap keeper. The strap keeper is secured in 
a groove found at the end of the strap before the tapered end. The strap 
keeper should be installed on the strap, with the small gap in the keeper, 
oriented with the smooth side of the strap. The mask strap cannot be 
removed from the mask without removing the strap keeper. Installing the 
strap keeper should be done after the strap has been threaded through 
the buckle assembly.

Removal of the Mask Strap

The strap keepers must be removed first. Note the position of the strap 
keepers in relation to the mask strap before removing. We recommend 
replacing the strap keeper back onto the strap groove once it has been
