    How many times have I seen or heard divers say: I am tired of trying to find the inflator on my BCD or it's to hard to operate or I wish I could trim the inflation/deflation better. Come to the Forest Grove Aquatic Center September 30 (Sunday) at 6:00PM to try the Pro QD i3 Technology BCD.  You will need to bring your certification card, bathing suit, towel and yourself (under 18 years old must have a parent present).  We will have 3 scuba units already pre-set up with Tanks, Regulators & BCDs.  We will be bringing Mask, Snorkel, Fins, Boots, & Weights for divers that do not have these items.                                       No cost just come and enjoy the experience!!!

Gear Tip:
    HOW DO YOU PREVENT DIVE GEAR MIX-UPS or LOSS?  Visible identification...so what does this mean?  You need to mark your equipment with a paint marker pen, this is the type we use here for making our rental equipment.  This is a must if you are especially a boat diver or going to a tropical location.  Use your initials or name is best, I even started putting my cell phone number on, this way for here they might call me if found.  I know I would call them if I found a piece of equipment with a name and number so it could be returned to the owner.  Just a suggestion....

    HOW to prevent flooding.....Many divers and snorkelers have underwater cameras, dive lights or dry containers of some type.  The best prevention for flooding is before entering the water is to submerge the item in fresh water and see if bubbles continue to escape, if so then you probably did not get a proper seal.  Take out of water, dry item off (hands as well) and re-check the o-ring seal to make sure it has not been damaged or contaminants are on it,  even a small strand of hair could make it leak, then re-submerge in fresh water for another check. 
NEVER rush while sealing these items you will pay for it in the long run for what you think you saved in time!!!
