🤿 Usage Guide

1. Attach the HOTDIVE SMB03 to a reel or finger spool before beginning ascent.
2. Inflate using the oral valve or alternate air source at 5–10 meters depth.
3. Release slowly to allow controlled deployment to the surface.
4. Maintain light tension on the line to keep the SMB upright on the surface.
5. Deflate, rinse with fresh water, and store after each dive.

🧰 Maintenance Guide

• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after diving to remove salt and sand.
• Inspect the oral inflator, dump valve, and seams for damage before every dive.
• Dry completely before rolling and storing to prevent mold and mildew.
• Store away from direct sunlight, sharp edges, and chemical exposure.
