Releasing SureLock™ Weight Pouches |
Unlike a weight belt, which has only one release mechanism, each weight pouch is connected to the BC independently of the other and must be released separately. This provides you with the option of being able to jettison one pouch at a time, thereby maintaining better control of your ascent rate in an emergency.
In the event that you need to jettison weight, simply pull the release handle of each pouch towards the center of the waist buckle. When the pouch is completely disengaged from its holster, hold it out and away from your body before dropping it.

WARNING: Ensure that your weight pouches are not obstructed by any straps, lines, etc. DO NOT add weight to the BC’s pockets, as this may interfere with the removal of the pouches in an emergency. Failure to ditch weight in an emergency may lead to serious injury or death due to drowning. |

WARNING: To avoid injuring other divers, always look below you before dropping weight. |

NOTE: In addition to becoming familiar with the weight system yourself, it is very important to explain its function to your dive buddy so that he/she is equally familiar with it. |
