replace this component without the necessary training and tools may result in

permanent damage to the inflation hose assembly or BC.

Cleaning the Inside of the BC

The greatest threat to the BC's long life is the presence of contaminants inside

the BC. Salt water, when it evaporates, leaves behind razor-sharp crystals that

can easily puncture the BC's fabric. Other substances can cause the inside

surfaces of the BC to permanently stick to one another.

To clean the inside of the BC:

1. Drain any water that may have collected in the BC during the dive.

To do so, partially inflate the BC and then turn it over so that the hose

elbow is at the lowest point. Depress the manual deflator button while

squeezing gently on the BC. Continue to do so until all of the water is out.

2. Refill the BC with fresh water until it is approximately one-quarter full.

3. Inflate the BC the rest of the way with air.

4. Turn the BC over and over, so that the fresh water has the opportunity to

rinse all of the BC's interior surfaces.

5. Drain the fresh water from the BC (see Step 1).

6. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 one or two more times.

7. Rinse the exterior of the BC by immersing it in a tub of fresh water or

spraying it gently with a hose.

8. Inflate the BC until it is nearly full and let it stand for 30 minutes. After 30

minutes, check the BC for loss of air.

9. Lay the BC out flat or hang it upside down for several hours to allow it to

dry thoroughly.

10. Store the BC partially inflated in a dry, dark place.
