Lesson four: Dealing with a Loose Cylinder Band

Course Complete

Sometimes the band holding a diver’s cylinder in the BCD comes loose. When you know how to deal with it, it is little more than an annoyance.

  • If it comes loose while exiting, it is often simplest to ease back into the water, slip out of the kit and then lift or carry it out of the water by the cylinder valve.

  • If it comes loose before the dive, help the diver remove the scuba kit for retightening.
  • If it comes loose during a dive, it is not usually an emergency, because the cylinder tends to stay with the diver. Signal the affected diver so you can tighten it, or signal your buddy if it is your cylinder band that’s loose.
