25 Troubleshooting
The STEALTH 2.0 System gives huge possibilities for configuration adjustment to your own needs. Sometimes it
happens that divers make “rookie” mistakes as far as the harness or compensator configuration are concerned.
Here are some basic problems and solutions to them:
The harness sticks out from your back when you arch your body
It is a typical situation, since the harness is improperly adjusted to your height. The upper node is then
placed too high.
Solution:
According to the description in “Adjustment of the harness” chapter, adjust the length of the
central harness strap (the one running across the spine) so that the upper node is located in the right
position.
The compensator sticks too far out from your back.
If you use lower “recreational” mounting points it will not be as flat as if using the upper “overhead
diving” mounting points, it does not however make much difference in recreational diving. If you use the
upper points and the compensator still sticks out, it means that the loops are just too long.
Solution:
Check if the length of the loops is accurate. If you use lower mounting points and you dive in
wrecks and caves, change the mounting points to the upper ones.
The compensator sticks out from your back at the bottom.
The compensator works best when the crotch loop is property fastened and has the right length. If the
loop is too long, the compensator, when it is full may stick out slightly from the back after assuming a
vertical position.
Solution:
Properly adjust the element mounting the compensator to the crotch strap.
