The buoyancy compensator combines a balancing function through the back positioned buoyancy and weights for the buoyancy compensation function.
The buoyancy compensator is detachable from the IS-MIX which simplifies the handling of the diving equipment when transporting. The diver can be transported to the dive site with the IS-MIX removed. The buoyancy compensator avoids lying at the bottom of the boat and the risk being damaged.
The buoyancy compensator has a great adjustment range to suit most divers. The size is adjusted primarily by using the existing adjustment range in the shoulder and waist straps. If you need a greater adjustment range, the shoulder straps can be further adjusted by changing the basic length of these.
