1
Hold your snorkel (if used) and add a small amount of air to the BCD so the scuba unit floats at the surface.
Do not overinflate—too much buoyancy can make the unit harder to put on.

2
Free the hoses from the BCD and hold the regulator/hoses so they do not twist or tangle.

3
Insert your right arm through the BCD strap. Support the lower part of the cylinder with your right hand.
|
 |
4
Insert your left arm through the BCD strap.
|

5
Close the buckle/waist strap and secure the hoses in their retainers.

6
Inflate the BCD as needed to establish comfortable positive buoyancy at the surface.
