Halcyon Multifunction Compensator, Owner'S Manual

14

(13.6 kg) of releasable weight.

CAUTION:

 It is important not to overweight the diving 

rig with too much fixed weight; this configuration may 
not allow sufficient removable weight, preventing the 
diver from  “ditching” the weight and swimming to the 
surface during an emergency. 

CAUTION:

 You should be certain through in-water test-

ing prior to a dive that, without any air in your buoyancy 
compensator, you are capable of swimming against 
the weight of you configuration with full tanks and all 
weight in place. You need verify that you are able to man-
age your scuba configuration in the event of a buoyancy 
failure.
