Question

Sage S @sages7523

#askmark I recently signed up for my scuba class and I realised the tank is really heavy on my back and with the BCD I was given gets uncomfortable with all the weight. Do you know if there is anything I can do to make it more comfortable?

A former SCUBA Dive Instructor, I learnt to dive in the UK and taught both here and abroad. After that I spent a lot of time working with dive equipment from all of the major brands. From the Arctic Circle to the Tropics and Apnea to Closed Circuit, most of my professional life has been spent in the scuba diving industry.
