2 – In – 1 Harness Buddy – Giraffe

Diving with a collaborator (or buddy) means that there is an individual to help if you encounter difficulties underwater. For the system to work properly, however, you and your buddy need to conduct your own briefing before a dive and check that all instrumentation is functioning properly.

Making Buddy Checks

Just before the start out of the dive, get together with your buddy and assemble your gear and put it on. There is no queer order in which to do this, but most divers find that to stay clear from overlooking anything, it is utile to manufacture a routine. When you are both suitable up and before either of you enter the water, you will have to carry out a buddy check-sit or stand next to your buddy and cautiously check each other’s gear, following the sequence shown below. Do not be tempted to rush these critical checks-you may regret it later. They make sure that you know how each other’s gear is assembled, how it works, and that it is functioning. They also serve as a double-check that neither of you has overlooked anything before you dive.

1. Check BCs so that you and your buddy know where each other’s inflation and deflation points are, and assure that they are working. Do the same for drysuits, if worn.

2. Check that weights are present and securely fastened. You and your buddy will have to be peculiarly conscious of how each other’s weights are released, in case either diver is incapacitated.

3. Check harness is secure and note where, on your buddy’s kit, key fastening points and harness release clips are located, and how they are operated.

4. Check air contents gauges and breathe from your regulators to check they are working. Test each other’s octopus second stage.

5. Ready to dive? Give each other a last once-over to establish who is carrying any miscellaneous pieces of gear, such as reels and slates, and where they are fastened. When you are ready to dive, make a final OK signal.

Buddy Briefing

Suiting up provides a good prospect to talk over a dive plan with your buddy. Ensure basi that you are both agreed, as a pair, on the aim and course of the dive, your entry and exit points, and your anticipated greatest or most complete or best possible depth and time for the dive. Check that you both have the required amount of air for your plan (including a reserve for emergencies). Agree on who will lead the dive and on whether you will dive to the left or right of your buddy. Decide on all communicating signals, including how and when you will signal for the end of the dive, and on what you will do if you become separated. Once you have accorded a plan, stick to it unless it becomes inconceivable to do so. If circumstances change for the duration of the dive, use hand signals to talk about how, as a pair, you are going to modify the dive.

Preventing Fogging

Mask fogging is a very mutual inconvenience, and is caused by oils on the mask’s lens permitting moisture to bead. The conventional way to prevent fogging is to rub saliva onto the inside of the lens glass, then lightly rinse clear, before putting on the mask for a dive. Anti-fogging sprays are likewise available.

Just what we needed
By serenity
I purchased this harness for my 5 year old severely autistic son. I was worried that it would be too small, or too flimsy to work properly, but it works very well.

I’d commend this harness to any individual with special needs kids that need the extra security of knowing your child can’t wander away, but likewise it helps children with autism not have to endure keeping hands, which may be difficult with their sensory issues. I only wish that I had purchased one sooner!

froggy safety
By cooking grandma
Froggy fun, safe and cute. I recognise alot of people question a child on a leash. As a grandma with a little granddaughter she may have her freedom and I may feel she is safe. She feels so big with it and I love it. I don’t worry any more. It is lasting too. She thinks it’t fun too. It is like her stuffed animal, this is very soft so it is not scratchy. I have learned that it you just let the jerk on the lead they will fall. But tardily let it tighten as they walk they will slow down and not fall. plus I lower my hand when she is closely the end of the lead and when she tugs she won’t fall. THe backpack pocket is actually little but it holds my keys when we go to the park.Great item.

It is cute and safe for the kids
By Dandonsy
I purchased this for my 1 year old son who is walking/running around. Sometimes, it is difficult to keep up with him. This harness helps me a lot. It is sooo cute on him and he loves frogs a lot. It helps me to keep my son within my sight, that actually matters. And it may be machine wash and dry! I had washed and dried assorted times (I would say I wash and arid it almost each week after using). And it is shape is still good. I love things may be wash/clean around my kids. Highly recommend!
