buoyancy characteristics could result in a negatively buoyant situation that cannot
be overcome by the lift capacities of XS and SM size BCD's. Oceanic strongly advises
wearers of XS and SM BCD's to not dive below 99ft/30m with a wetsuit thicker than
6mm.
WARNING: Do not add more weight to the BCD than the lifting capacity can overcome
to maintain the divers' airway safely above the water. Refer to the chart below for
maximum lift capacity by BCD size, and account for additional equipment and diver
weight. Please contact your local Oceanic dealer or Oceanic directly if you are unsure
of your weighting requirements.
