• Rinse After Each Dive: Thoroughly rinse the BCD with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Pay particular attention to the bladder, inflator, and rip cord system.

• Flush the Bladder: Fill the bladder with fresh water using the inflator, swish it around, and drain completely. Inflate and deflate the bladder a few times to ensure it is fully cleaned.

• Inspect the Rip Cord System: Check the rip cord system for smooth operation. Ensure it is free of debris, properly seated, and functions correctly. Test the system periodically to ensure it deploys as expected.

• Check for Leaks: Inflate the BCD fully and listen for any air leaks. If you detect any, check the bladder, dump valves, and inflator for damage. Address any leaks promptly.

• Lubricate Valves and Mechanisms: Apply silicone-based lubricant to the inflator and dump valve mechanisms for smooth operation. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants, as they can degrade the material.

• Dry and Store Properly: After rinsing, hang the BCD in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry completely. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat.

• Store with Care: Store the BCD partially inflated in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing or folding it tightly. Ensure that the rip cord system is accessible and not pinched.

• Annual Service: Have the BCD, rip cord system, and inflator serviced annually by a certified technician to ensure all components are in optimal working condition.
