Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the BCD thoroughly with fresh water after every dive, including the bladder, Balanced Power Inflator, dump valves, harness, and weight pockets, then allow it to air dry completely.
- Partially inflate the bladder while rinsing to flush out salt, sand, and debris from the interior, then drain and dry before storage.
- Inspect the Monprene® harness, EndurTex® nylon bladder, straps, buckles, inflator hose, and D-rings regularly for wear or damage before each dive.
- Test the Balanced Power Inflator and all dump valves before every dive to ensure smooth inflation, deflation, and buoyancy control.
- Check the Super Cinch tank buckle, integrated weight pockets, and rear trim pouches to ensure they are securely fastened before entering the water.
- Store the BCD in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the bladder slightly inflated to help maintain its shape.
- Have the BCD inspected and serviced periodically by an authorized SCUBAPRO technician to ensure safe, reliable long-term performance.
