Deflation Methods for BC's with a Powerline Inflator

Throughout the course of a dive, it will be necessary to release air from the BC using one of the three methods described in the following instructions. Each method uses a valve that is in a different location. The method you choose at any time may depend on whether you are making your initial descent feet first, headfirst, or maintaining neutral buoyancy underwater. Always remember to utilize the valve that is at the highest point on the bladder, depending on your position in the water.
