ABSTRACT:
An improved buoyancy compensator for providing buoyancy to a Scuba diver. The compensator comprises a vest including a compartment for holding a gas, which compartment is connected by means of an inflation tube, through a control valve and a regulating valve, to a gas supply, so that opening of the control valve allows gas to flow from the gas supply through the tube into the compartment. The compensator is further provided with a gas release valve which allows gas to leave the compartment to a surrounding environment. The compensator is provided with a trigger activated, remote control to open and close the gas release valve.
