Non-Drop Weight Pouches - Oceanic BCD Manual Del Usaurio

To Drop the QLR3 Weight Pockets
• Bring your body to an upright position.
• Simultaneously grasp the Handles of both Weight Release Pockets and firmly pull the Pockets
completely out of the cavities of the BC.
• Hold the Pockets out so they are clear of all of your gear, and drop them.
NOTE: Practice this technique with and without Weights while out of the water with
the BC removed from the tank.
Handling and Storage of Weight Pockets
• DO NOT use the drop handles to lift or carry the pockets.
• Store the pockets in a position that will not distort their curved shape, weights down or removed.
NON DROP WEIGHT POUCHES
Most all models of Oceanic BCs are fitted with two standard Non Drop Weight Pouches located in the
lower back near the tank. Some others can be added as an option. Weights can be loaded into the
Pouches to help create a better swim attitude and vertical stability. The maximum weight that you can
load in each Non Drop Weight Pouch is 5 pounds.
WARNING: Weights placed in the Non Drop Pouches cannot be released to provide
emergency positive buoyancy.
To Load Weights in the Non Drop Pouches
• Lay the BC on its front, tank side facing up.
• Unclip the Quick Disconnects located between the Pockets and the Air Cell.
• Open the pouch Flaps and insert the desired Weights (5 pounds maximum).
• Secure the Flaps over the Pouches.
