Patent ID: 8568062

Claim:
A safety method in connection with SCUBA diving to control a divers buoyancy, in which method comprises: equipping said diver with diving equipment comprising: at least one air pressure tank; a valve device connected to said pressure tank and arranged to supply air from said pressure tank via first supply means to a breathing regulator and via second supply means to enable automatic filling of an inflatable diving jacket; and an actuator being able to automatically initiate inflation of the diving jacket and, with the purpose of additionally improving the diver's buoyancy, also to automatically initiate dumping of a weight carried by the diver, wherein said actuator is activated when the diver has not affected the air flow through the breathing regulator for a certain time period, said actuator being controlled by an actuation mechanism that automatically sets the actuator in active mode when the diver is within an actuation zone, whereby said automatic dumping can take place, and in that there is also arranged a release mechanism that can be manually influenced and that comprises a handle connected to a mechanism the purpose of which is to influence a holder arranged to hold a weight, and said second supply means are used also to control the diver's buoyancy by manual influence of the filling of said diving jacket.
