"Pool" Equipment Checklist

Required Scuba Equipment and Dive Items:
1.Equipment Bag
-Use any of the equipment bags on the top of the wood tank rack in the compressor room,
2.Scuba Cylinder Tank
-Use any scuba tank in the wood rack in the compressor room.
-Use a pressure gauge and check the pressure in the scuba tank to be sure that it is full. If it is not full have the Instructor or Dive-Con assist you with filling the cylinder.
3.Buoyancy Compensator (BC)
-Try the BC on and make sure that it works properly. Make sure that all the buckles and straps are in place and work properly.
-Determine if the BC has a safe-second regulator connected to the end of the inflator hose, this will determine what kind of a regulator system that you will need.
-During the pool sessions do not use the weight pockets or add weights to the BC, use a weight belt as mentioned below.
4.Regulator System
-If your BC does not have a safe-second regulator connected to the end of the inflator hose, make sure that your regulator system has two regulators.
-Find the proper hose and connect to the inflator hose valve on the BC. Make sure that it fits snug and properly.
-Make sure that the regulator system has a submersible pressure gauge (SPG) or computer.
5. Mask/Snorkel
-Find a mask that fits properly. Make sure that the mask has a snorkel attached to the strap.
-Check the mask strap and make sure it works properly.
6.Fins
-Find a pair of fins that are the proper size. Make sure that they are both the same size.
-Check the fin straps to make sure all the parts are there, and they work properly.
-Boots can only be worn in the pool if you have purchased them. Do not wear any shop boots in the pool.
7.Weight Belt
-If you require weights in the pool, use a 8 lb. weight belt.
-Do not carry the weight belt in the equipment bag, as it is too heavy and will eventually destroy the bag.
