4. DIVING WITH THE REGULATOR

4.1 Using an Octopus Regulator

If an Octopus regulator is going to be used, it is recommended that you

obtain a Conshelf XIV Octopus Regulator (PN 108520) with a yellow hose

or (PN 108525) with a black hose. It is recommended that the mouthpiece

be covered to prevent the intrusion of foreign objects into the Conshelf XIV

second stage octopus.

While underwater the regulator may start to free-ow. If this happens turn the

regulator so that the mouthpiece points downward.

4.2 Cold Water Diving

The use of a specialized regulator with an environmental dry chamber will re-

duce the possibility of regulator rst stage failure. It is also vital to use a regulator

second stage intended for this type of diving. Also, the diver should be trained

and have mastered the techniques of cold water diving so as to be able to take

all precautions necessary to avoid freezing of the regulator.

In order to reduce the risks of the regulator freezing when diving in cold water (be-

low 50°F or 10°C), consider at least the following recommendations and respect

your dive training program procedure:

Protect your regulator from any accidental entrance of water into the 1.

rst or second stages.

Protect your equipment from the cold before the dive. More precisely, 2.

keep your regulator and all it's accessories in a warm dry place.

Carry out all pre-dive checks of your equipment in a warm dry place, 3.

before even going to the dive site.

Avoid breathing through the regulator or pressing the purge button in 4.

very cold air before entering the water.

Avoid removing the regulator from your mouth during the dive, or when 5.

on the surface. This will prevent cold water from entering the regulator

second stage.

As far as possible, avoid excessive effort during the dive.6.

Have your air source checked to ensure the air supplied meets Grade 7.

E standards and is dry.

NOTE: When properly maintained, the Conshelf XIV Supreme

external diaphragm should be slightly indented when unpres-

surized. Upon pressurization, the external diaphragm will ex

slightly outward.
