How To Assemble Dive Equipment
There are different styles on How To Assemble Dive Equipment, in the video below we follow these steps:
1. Inspect the tank, visual inspection sticker and the hydrostatic test date
2. Check the O-Ring
3. Open the tank valve and give a little burst to clean the valve
4. Put the BCD correctly over your scuba cylinder
5. At least 4 fingers from the top
6. Attach the Safety Strap
7. Make sure everything is attached correctly
8. Grab your regulator and unscrew the dust cap from the first stage
9. Place the first stage over the valve
10. Gently screw the first stage on the tank valve (Only 3 finger tight)
11. Attach the low-pressure inflator hose to the BCD
12. Attach the alternate air source
13. Streamline everything
14. Turn the SPG glass away from anyone
15. Slowly open up the tank valve
16. Finished
After finishing Assembling the Dive Equipment, you should do a full dive equipment check up:
1. Fully inflate the BCD to check for leaks and the LPI
2. Orally Inflate the BCD
3. Purge, smell and breath through the second stage, while checking the SPG
4. Check the alternate air source
5. Make sure the dive equipment is streamlined
6. Gently place your equipment on its side
How To Assemble Dive Equipment becomes much more easier after a few tries. It is still very important to do a buddy check after you assemble the dive gear to make sure you setup your dive gear correctly.

In this video we used the Scuba Pro Glide BCD, which is one of the most comfortable Scuba BCD's on the Market. We also used the Scuba Pro MK25 Regulator which delivers more the 10.000 liters of air per minute for the easiest breathing feeling. Are you looking for a new BCD or Regulator? Then we highly recommend these 2 models:
