9 Connecting the Scuba Tank 1/2
Attention: GHOST buoyancy compensator is designed to be used with tanks of parameters indicated in
technical specification included at the end of this manual. Using this compensator with other types of tanks,
although physically possible, is not recommended.
Upon designing GHOST system, we aimed at creating a compensator which will provide the trim and stability at
an exceptionally high level. GHOST reveals its advantages when installed in an optimal place on the tank,
namely so that the centre of gravity of the gas in the tank correlates with the centre of compensator buoyancy.
Such position of the compensator provides ideal trim during the whole dive, regardless of the amount of gas in
the tank. The following picture shows GHOST compensator optimally attached
to aluminium 80cf tank
commonly used in diving centres operating in warm water areas:
In order to help you find the perfect point where to attach the tank, GHOST provides the centre of buoyancy
marker in the form of oval hole in the central part of the bladder. While attaching the tank, make sure the hole
is placed in the middle of the cylinder (without the valve and tank neck).
Attention: If with such position of the compensator relative to the tank you hit your head on the first stage
regulator, lower the compensator with single tank adapter according to chapter 'Changing the height of
attaching the tank'.”.
An incorrectly connected tank may unexpectedly detach from the harness. Such situation is extremely
dangerous and may result in a serious accident or even death. Therefore the tank connection has to be
inspected closely.
Danger!
