Content: Make sure the 2nd stages are placed on top of the BCD to prevent damage from the cylinder or a passing diver. Special care must be taken when placing a scuba unit on a beach because sand can cause your regulator or power inflator to malfunction. A towel or tarp underneath your equipment is very useful for this purpose. Secure the scuba units or lay them down after assembly. Disassembling Your Scuba Unit
You disassemble the scuba unit in the opposite order the gear was assembled. However, a couple steps are added to the process. Turn the valve knob clockwise until it's completely closed. Press the 2nd stage's purge button to release all the air pressure from the hoses. Remove the low-pressure hose from the power inflator. Remove the 1st stage from the cylinder valve.
