WEIGHT SYSTEM
WARNING
The Ecoweight and Removable Pockets must be perfectly secured with the buckles
fully and correctly engaged: the loss of the pocket during diving causes positive
buoyancy and uncontrolled ascent that could result in injury or death.
WARNING
BACK COUNTER WEIGHTS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE RELEASED IN AN
EMERGENCY. Failure to create adequate positive buoyancy in an emergency
situation may result in injury or death. The user of the BC must configure the
entire diving system in a manner that provides the means for rapidly and easily
creating positive buoyancy as an aid for emergency ascent.
WARNING
Practice fastening and releasing the weight pockets several times before diving.
PRE-DIVE ADJUSTMENT
Your HYDROS PRO BC is equipped with adjustable quick-release buckles at the waist,
shoulder and chest (sternum). To ensure maximum safety, comfort and performance, your
BC should be properly adjusted when kitting up for each dive by following these steps in the
correct order:
1. WAIST STRAP ADJUSTMENT
a. Put the BC on.
b. Place the waist strap low in your waist and fasten the waist buckle.
c. Tighten the strap until snug by pulling the plastic D-ring to your left.
d. To release tension, lift the front edge of the buckle to allow the webbing to pass back
through the buckle.
