Technical information
Type of BCD
The SUBEA diving buoyancy compensator SCD 500B is a "back buoyancy" BC: the volume of air is on the back only. This allows for a better balance in the water and completely frees your arms. No more air volumes on the sides that can hinder movement under and out of the water.
The SCD 500B harness is separate from the bladder, so you don't feel the pressure when the BC is inflated.

Ease of use
The BC has a dump valve that helps stop water getting into the bladder: a valve located under the upper drain and the lower drain prevents water from entering when the valves are activated.
The choice of the shape and the colour of the purge pull tabs also makes for an easier grip.
The buckles on the straps allow for easy and accurate adjustment thanks to their shape and size.

Carrying comfort
Available in two sizes (S/M and L/XL). The stomach strap is adjustable in length for all body sizes: there is a rip-tab system at the back for it for a snug fit.
For added comfort, SUBEA design teams have developed reinforced back padding on the back of the buoyancy compensators, to cushion the tank. The braces are also padded and made of 3D mesh for greater suppleness on the shoulders.

Maintenance tips
1/ Rinse your buoyancy compensator thoroughly with clean water. Pay particular attention to the drains and the inflater. 2/ Empty any water that may be contained in the buoyancy compensator by pulling the lower drain tab. Do not store water in the inflatable bladder.
3/ Dry your buoyancy compensator on a wide hanger, out of the sun.
Inspect your buoyancy compensator once a year and look for any signs of wear. Inflate the inflatable chamber by mouth, then wait 12 hours to see if it deflates.

Servicing buoyancy compensators
Your buoyancy compensator must be inspected and serviced by a certified SUBEA centre at least every two years, and more often if you are a frequent diver.

Storage
It is important to store all diving equipment well clear of sources that produce ozone (electric motors, cookers, etc.) and to protect it against UV rays. If this is not the case, the seals can deteriorate more quickly, affecting your safety or the working order of the regulator. Keep your equipment in a dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
Warranty
Availability of spare parts essential to the use of the product: 10 years.
