Releasable Trim Weights
To install weight in each compartment, unfasten the Velcro
®
to open each
flap. Insert the desired weight and refasten the Velcro
®
flap.
It is important to remember at all times that weight installed in these
compartments MAY NOT be easily released during an emergency situation.
Before diving with trim weight installed in your BC, it is extremely important
to check your buoyancy in shallow water while wearing the BC attached to a
fully charged cylinder. While standing in chest deep water, completely deflate
the BC and verify that you can easily achieve positive buoyancy by ditching
your X-Lock™ Integrated Weight System pockets. For more information about
weighting and performing a buoyancy check, refer to the section titled, Diving
with Your XS Scuba BC.
