2-In-1 Harness Buddy – Lion

Diving with a collaborator (or buddy) means that there is an individual to aid 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 commence of the dive, get together with your buddy and assemble your gear and put it on. There is no peculiar order in which to do this, but most divers find that to stay clear from overlooking anything, it is utile to invent a routine. When you are both suitable up and before either of you enter the water, you ought to carry out a buddy check-sit or stand next to your buddy and conservatively 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 see to it that you know how each other’s gear is assembled, how it works, and that it is functioning. They likewise 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 make sure that they are working. Do the same for drysuits, if worn.

2. Check that weights are present and securely fastened. You and your buddy must be in particular 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 original that you are both agreed, as a pair, on the intent 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 communication 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 totally unlikely 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 alter 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 established 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 also available.

Great invention!
By Jaymie Blatt
My son started walking at just over 9 months. Truly walking – not keeping things or teetering around. The problem is – he doesn’t grasp words yet. This harness lets him wander around safely when we are out. This is peculiarly utile if we go someplace as a family: his dad gets to spend particular one-on-one time with him, and they wander around together! This works in truth well if we shop as a family.

The best share is that we don’t have to lean to one side and strain our back (like we would keeping hands for a long amount of time of time).

I don’t suppose to use this forever, but it is a outstanding solution for an early walker or a child that wanders!

Son loves it
By KandyKane
My son loves his Lion backpack. He plays with it when he’s not wearing it. I have him wear it while we walk along the busy street we live on. I don’t “walk” him, I have him hold my hand but the “leash” is wrapped around my arm just in case he makes a break for it. My son is a very strong 1 year old and I have a disbaility with my hands that make them very weak so this is a precaution. I think if you are attempting to train your child to walk while keeping your hand and just want a little more security this is a great precautionary tool.

Great restraint!
By kari
My son is a super busy-body. I was very nervous/paranoid with regards to taking him to Yellowstone so I purchased this. It is very easy to put on him (unlike a heap of other over the head/arm for less harnesses) and is very soft and comfortable. He liked it. It doubled as a toy when he was in the car seat. The “pouch” share of it is pretty useless, but it doesn’t matter. It’s cute, soft, comfortable and does the job.
