Donning Your Scuba Unit
The scuba unit is easiest to don with the help of your buddy.

  1. Pull the sides of the BCD out so it's completely open.
  2. Make sure all of the hoses are hanging on the outside of the BCD.
  3. Have your buddy lift the scuba unit up to your shoulders. Place your arms through the shoulder straps one arm at a time.
  4. Bend over and fasten the waist straps.
  5. Tighten the shoulder straps if necessary.
  6. Secure the octopus and gauge console in their appropriate clips.
