Maintenance Tips
-
Rinse the entire BCD thoroughly with fresh water after each dive to remove salt, sand and debris, paying special attention to the bladder, inflator and dump valves.
-
Flush the inside of the bladder by partially inflating and rinsing clean water through the inflator/valves to dissolve salt crystals.
Drying & Storage
-
Hang the BCD partially inflated in a shaded, well‑ventilated area until fully dry to prevent mildew.
-
Store partially inflated in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to protect materials and shape.
Inspect & Care
-
Before each dive, inspect dump valves, inflator, harness, straps and seams for wear, damage or leaks.
-
Inflate the BCD fully and listen for escaping air; address leaks promptly.
-
Lightly apply silicone‑based lubricant to valve mechanisms to maintain smooth operation (avoid petroleum products).
