RELEASING SURELOCK II™ 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.
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.
WARNING:
To avoid injuring other divers, always look below you before dropping weight.
