The Halcyon Buoyancy Compensator system provides superior buoyancy control and trim
adjustment for divers in any underwater environment. Each component of the BC system: the
proper buoyancy wing, alternative lift device, weighting system, and Secure Harness works
together to provide you with safe, efficient control of your gear while under water and on the
surface. The BC harness system is adjustable to fit all body types, providing for a much more
precise fit than jacket-style BCs.
The Halcyon Buoyancy Compensator has two primary forms of adjustment. The classic adjust-
ment system involves a semi-permanent fitting in which the diver tunes the harness to the ap-
propriate size based upon their physical size or stature and thermal protection. Meanwhile, the
patent-pending Halcyon Cinch System allows the diver to adjust the harness quickly, fine tuning
it for each dive regardless of the thermal protection worn. The classic system can be upgraded
by purchasing a Cinch Upgrade from your Halcyon dealer. Both systems are discussed in detail
with the quick-adjust Cinch outlined later in this text.
To properly fit your Secure Harness before first use, begin by suiting up with the same thermal
protection that you will use with your BC. If you plan to dive with a drysuit, make sure to include
all undergarments. In addition to the thickness of the drysuit, a full set of thermal undergar-
ments can add considerable bulk and have a dramatic impact on the sizing of the harness.
Fitting Your Buoyancy Compensator – Classic Semi-permanent Fitting
You can adjust the Halcyon BC Secure Harness without the use
of special tools by adjusting the fasteners along the back of the
backplate and on the crotch strap (image 1).
To adjust the shoulder straps, loosen the triglide fasteners on
the back of the backplate where the webbing feeds through the
slots (image 2).
Using equal amounts of webbing from both sides of the waist
belt, adjust the straps so that several
fingers can fit under the webbing
along your shoulders (image 3). The shoulder straps need to be loose
enough to be comfortable with your thickest amount of thermal
protection. The fit of the harness should facilitate easy doff/don,
both in water and out of water, yet still remain snug enough so that
your tanks are secure while stage bottles clipped off to the top D-ring
stay close to the chest.
