Installing the SureLock II™ Weight Pouches on your BC
The SureLock II pouches are installed with the plastic panel facing outward (pouch flap facing toward
the BC). To install either pouch, slide the closed end of the pouch into the opening of the holster. Insert
the male portion of the SureLock II buckle (a) into the female receptacle (b) on the BC until you can
hear/feel it click into place.
WARNING: Before every dive, it is important
to make sure each weight pouch is secured,
in order to prevent the pouches from fall-
ing out. Involuntary release of both weight
pouches underwater can cause a sudden in-
crease in buoyancy causing a rapid ascent,
which could lead to serious injury or death
due to arterial gas embolism, decompression
sickness, or drowning.
CAUTION: Apeks strongly recommends that you do not attempt to don your BC when
it is fully loaded with weight. You may otherwise risk injury due to muscle strain or a
temporary loss of balance.
WARNING: Ensure the soft weight is inserted
all the way into the SureLock II pouch. If any
portion of the soft weight is protruding out
of the weight pouch, it can prevent the Sure-
Lock II pouch from being properly secured.
Involuntary release of both weight pouches
underwater can cause a sudden increase
in buoyancy causing a rapid ascent, which
could lead to serious injury or death due to
arterial gas embolism, decompression sick-
ness, or drowning.
