      • Eat lightly and avoid alcohol while traveling or boating.
      • If nausea or dizziness set-in while aboard a boat or plane, move to the center where it is usually more stable.
      • Put your eyes and inner ear in sync: move to the top deck of a boat or ship and look out at the horizon.

    When in doubt, use UV Tech – it is environmentally friendly!

    In addition to regular cleaning, a few simple checks after each dive will help keep your B.C. in top condition: Look for small tears and punctures, loose stitching and stressed fasteners. Repair with Aquaseal to prevent further damage. Check for leaks by pressurizing the B.C. using the oral or power inflator, then submerging the B.C in a tub of water. Slowly rotate the B.C. in all directions, keeping an eye out for air bubbles. Mark the location of the leak, allow the B.C. to dry,then repair with Aquaseal.
