ABSTRACT:
A combination unit of a buoyancy compensator, backpack, and spider having adjustable combination strap means forming a combination shoulder strap and belt strap means with releasable strap retaining means. A backpack for support of a gas cylinder is attached to the back of the spider. The buoyancy compensator overlies the spider and has two downward extending lobes, each having a bottom and sides that are configured to surround the backpack without interfering with the attachment of a pressurized gas cylinder. The buoyancy compensator includes independent suspension means whereby it is attached to the spider at the shoulder and neckline areas and tacked to the spider at the bottom of each downward lobe portion of the buoyancy compensator. Two buoyancy compensator strap means are attached to the spider and to the sides of each downward lobe of said buoyancy compensator and are restrained by an elastic tether attached to the spider to permit expansion of the buoyancy compensator away from a diver's body during inflation.
