once you have all your scuba gear you
have to know how to assemble it hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re a total
diving to learn how to assemble our
scuba gear the word scuba stands for
self-contained underwater breathing
apparatus and it’s comprised of three
components the first is your scuba tank
the second is your buoyancy control
device or BCD and the third is your
regulator set and console so now we’re
ready to assemble your gear first thing
you want to do is inspect your tank
visually make sure that the tank so ring
is clear of defects that will make a
good seal with the regulator when we
attach it later the second thing we’re
going to do is connect our BCD I’m going
to start by sliding your BCD over the
tank valve and securing your tank straps
it’s important to pull the straps very
tight so if the tank does not come loose
while you guys want to make sure that
your tank valve height is about equal
with the back of the neck of your BCD
and that will provide you enough head
clearance while you’re diving now we’re
ready to attach our regulators all
regulators are going to come with a dust
cap to protect the filter so we’ll start
by removing the dust cap making sure
that a regulator mouthpieces are on our
right hand side we’ll slide that over
the yoke valve of the tank tighten the
yoke screw just hand tight now we’re
ready to secure the rest of our
equipment we can take our low-pressure
inflator and we will be able to attach
it to our BCD making sure it clicks in
place once we’re done we also want to
secure our alternate air source or
octopus in a location on our vest
somewhere between our chin and the
corners of our ribcage
we also have our console but before we
attach it away we want to verify our
tank pressure by holding our pressure
gauge away from us you can start by
slowly opening the valve once you hear
the unit pressurize you can open the
tank valve all the way and back
one-quarter turn looks like we’ve got a
full tank let’s get ready to dive
