• Once at depth, adjust the amount and distribution of air in the Suit to

maintain comfortable neutral buoyancy.

• Horizontal positioning with the head, torso, and feet at the same level

affords the least amount of lateral effort.

WARNING: As your depth decreases during a multi level

dive, or during your ascent to the surface, the air in the

BioDry Suit will expand creating positive buoyancy that must

be controlled.

• To maintain neutral buoyancy while ascending, vent air from the Exhaust

Valve by lifting your left arm, or depress the Button on the Exhaust Valve.

WARNING: Maintain neutral buoyancy during the ascent,

and do not exceed the maximum ascent rate recommended

by your dry suit training.

Oceanic recommends a safety stop at 10-15 feet (3-5 meters)

prior to surfacing from each dive.

• On the surface, vent all air from your BioDry Suit and inflate your BC to

achieve comfortable positive buoyancy.

Refer to page 13 for Emergency Situations.

UNDRESSING

• Disconnect the LP Inflator Hose from the Power Inflator on your Dry Suit

and remove your Scuba assembly with the assistance of your buddy.

• Remove all accessory equipment, such as weight belt, ankle weights,

hood, gloves, etc.

• Rinse any sand or debris off the BioDry Suit, paying particular attention

to the Zipper area.

• With your arms stretched forward, have your buddy open the Zipper

completely using a steady even pull.

• Insert both hands into the top opening of the Neck Seal, and simulta-

neously spread the opening as you drop your head down and out of the

opening while simultaneously lifting up on the Neck Seal. Avoid putting

pressure on the Seal with your fingernails.
