Open and secure the straps:
In order to be able to open and close the jacket quickly, it has quick release buckles on both
shoulders, on the chest and on the cummerbund.
The cummerbund also has a Velcro fastening system.
Adjustable shoulders:
The shoulder straps of the BC are adjustable. The length of these belts is adjusted using a
quick release buckle through which the belt is passed. To shorten, grab the free end of the
strap and pull it down firmly. To extend the straps, lift the front part of the buckle while you
are wearing the BC.
Adjusting the jacket to different body sizes:
The SCUBAPRO Jacket REBEL allows further size adjustments with two different buckles
in the shoulder area. The unused buckles can be put away in the fabric pockets provided. If
necessary, the waist belt can also be changed quickly and easily. This is available from your
SCUBAPRO dealer.

Body size: 120 – 140 cm – Use upper buckle

10. BC EXAMINATION AND PROCEDURES

Pre-dive, dive and post-dive BC examination helps to identify equipment problems before
unsafe conditions exist, preventing diving accidents. All equipment must be regularly
inspected by an authorized SCUBAPRO equipment repair facility.
⚠ WARNING
DO NOT DIVE with a BC that does not pass any of the Pre-Dive, Dive or Post-Dive
inspection points and tests. Loss of buoyancy control or air holding integrity could
occur, resulting in serious injury or death.
Pre-Dive Visual Inspection and Valve Test:
1. Examine the entire BC for cuts, punctures, frayed seams, excessive abrasion, loose/
missing hardware and other damage of any kind.
2. Check the proper tightening of the dump valves and the elbow ring
3. Inspect the Oral Valve, Power Inflation Valve, Manual Dump Valve and Over Pressure
Valve(s) for cracks, damage, or contamination.
4. Operate the Power Inflation Valve (with the LP hose attached and charged with air
pressure), Oral Valve, manual Dump Valve and Over Pressure Valve, checking for proper operation and resealing. If the OP Valve has a Pull Dump, test it by pulling on the cord.
5. Inflate the BC through the Oral Valve until it is firm. Listen and check for leaks. Let the BC
stand inflated for 30 minutes or more, then check the BC for loss of air.
6. Soak the cylinder band(s) and fit the BC to a SCUBA cylinder, pull up on the BC while
attached on the SCUBA cylinder, checking that the BC will not slip while diving.
7. While wearing the BC, adjust the straps and other attachments on the BC for a comfortable
fit that does not restrict breathing. Make these adjustments with the BC inflated and while
wearing the exposure suit you intend to dive with.
