Opérationnel
Proper operation of your regulator ensures a safe and enjoyable dive.
Vérifications avant plongée :
- Confirm cylinder pressure is adequate for the planned dive.
- Breathe from the second stage to ensure smooth air delivery.
- Check the BCD inflator for proper function.
During the Dive:
- Monitor your air supply regularly using your pressure gauge.
- Avoid rapid changes in depth that could stress the regulator.
Post-Dive Procedures:
