It was like wearing a mini-submarine, I thought when I tried on the Avelo kit at the recent Diving Talks. What looks like just a slightly oversized tank with a fancy little backplate and two small canisters along the flanks, which resemble battery packs, are in fact also a buoyancy device.

Cylinder Safety

There are certain things in diving we tend to take for granted. Among them is the scuba cylinder. Cylinders are the lifeline of our sport, but they have become so steadfastly reliable that the community has come to expect them to be totally safe, sometimes at significant risk to customers and dive professionals alike. You rely on your cylinders for enjoyment, and safety – do you know how to keep them safe?
