How the hell do I use a Scuba BCD?

The first time I saw a BCD, I thought two things, how the hell do I work this thing and what not are going to BCD? The second question is easy to answer, BCD BCD stands for device. The first question, on the other hand, is more complicated and very important to learn. After all, if it were not for a BCD, a really difficult course of your tank, floating on the surface and remain vibrant. So for those of you wondering how I did, what the hell do I dowith my BCD, here's the answer.

The first thing you do with your BCD, is to prepare for the dive, which means for your tank, regulators and weights (if you have a weight integrated BCD). To add your tank, take your BCD, expand the belt on the back of the tank and put it on your tank. It 'important to remember that the opening of the valve receptacle in the direction of BCD, has not yet lost. Lower the tape and reduce the BCD with him until the upper tankBelt is narrow and may close.

Next, take the lid from the top of the tank valve and get you out of your regulators. His first stage regulator should be on the left side of your BCD and second phase are on the right. If you are on a control yoke, the position of the beam above the tank valve, so that the two openings are together and then tighten the screw. If you have a DIN position the controller so that the wires are in line and screw the regulatorthe valve. To your second stage regulator, also known as the octopus, are attached to the belt with your BCD, you save.

Well, now you're ready to check and make sure everything works properly. Connect the low pressure hose to the mechanism of inflation, and then put the gauges and dive computer down. Keep the drain valve and turn off the air by opening the valve. If the air coming out your exhaust valve means to feel that connected to the controllercorrect. Once the valve opening, glancing at the meter or dive computer and write as much pressure in the tank. At that time, if you have a weight-integrated BCD (highly recommended), add your weight to the weight pockets. If not, go ahead and put the weight belt. Good job, you have your BCD prepare for the dive.

When ready, a little 'air to your BCD and then enter the water. At the beginning of your descent, release all the air. While salt isAdd a little 'air to maintain neutral buoyancy. When diving, you will need to add or to ventilate the depth that you are. At the end of the dive, the issue of air to start your career and will be supported to remain neutral. It 'important to slowly release the air that you're always in control.

After immersion, rinse and soak in fresh water BCD. Drain the water and then hang to dry. Now you know what the hell to do, yourBCD.
