Scuba diving is an adventurous activity and it is inherently dangerous. Even if •

you do everything right, some risks are involved. To lessen those risks (and to

make diving more enjoyable) always follow the manufacturer’s recommendation

as to the maintenance of your gear and dive within your abilities.

Abort any dive if any part of your live support system (including regulator, •

BC, drysuit, etc.) is not functioning correctly. Have any malfunctioning

problem resolved before beginning your dive. Any parts or areas with ex-

cessive wear should be checked out by a qualied technician before diving.

Be familiar with all your gear as wells as your dive buddy’s equipment.•

Periodically gear up completely with all the equipment (including air supply cylin-•

der) you will be diving with and test each part of it for proper and unencumbered

function.

Test the power/oral inator for proper function and check it for leaks.•

Inate the buoyancy compensator fully and check it for leaks.•

Over inate the buoyancy compensator and check for proper re-sealing of the •

overpressure valves.

With weight system loaded as it would be for diving, check for easy access to the •

release mechanism. Practice removing the weights as if you were returning to

the boat or in an emergency. Making sure the weights drop free from you whether

you are using a weight belt or other integrated weight system.

With a Ripcord type system, when fully geared up, periodically pull the release •

handle to the stop and re-thread cable. Be sure nothing is hindering the move-

ment of the cable through the release loops or channel and that nothing is hinder-

ing the release of weights from the diving vest.

With your regulator installed on an air cylinder and with the air turned on, check •

for leaks and test for proper function.

If you are diving with a full face mask or any other technical gear, be sure you •

have received certied training and that you fully understand and are competent

in its proper use and emergency procedures.

Pre-Dive Check:

Prior to each dive, always check to make certain your BC has no obvious

leaks by inating the bladder until the over pressure relief valve vents.

Listen for air leaks. If any are found, then service is necessary by an autho-

rized Zeagle technician.
