Insert weight pouch into Bc retainer
Improperly securing the pouch in the Bc retainer may result in immediate loss of the
pouch, generating positive buoyancy and initiating an uncontrolled ascent. this may
result in serious injury or death.
1). The weight pouch must be properly in place inside the BC retainer, pushed all the way toward
the back.
2). The buckle clip on the weight pouch must be fully engaged with the clip on the BC. Double

operation of weight system with handle
Do not configure the Bc or equipment in a manner that might obstruct the removal of
the weight pouches.
Ensure that each weight pouch, buckle and handle is unobstructed. Check the ability to release
weight pouches prior to diving.
Failure to generate positive buoyancy in an emergency situation may result in serious injury or
death.
To drop weights during a dive to begin an emergency ascent, do the following:
1). Bring your body into an upright position
2). Grasp the handles of the weight pockets simultaneously and pull strongly until the weight pockets
