8 Odyssea Technical ManualYour buoyancy compensator is primarily designed to help you maintain neutral buoyancywhile in a comfortably balanced, face-down swimming position underwater. It isalso designed to provide you with flotation so that you can rest on the surface, but itis not designed to function as a life preserver or personal flotation device (PFD). In orderto meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a PFD must be designed so that it automaticallyrights you to a face-up position and holds your head out of the water on the surface.The design characteristics of a personal flotation device are different from those of abuoyancy compensator. The ability of any flotation device to float you in a face-up positioncan also be affected by other diving equipment you wear, including a cylinder,weight or exposure suit, and whether it can be inflated before you lose consciousness.For this reason, it is important always to dive with a buddy and maintain close proximity withthem at all times. Do not depend on any flotation device to hold your face above the surface inthe event that you are rendered unconscious in the water while diving.WARNING: Although this manual provides some basic guidelines for certainbuoyancy control techniques, it is not a substitute for training from a professionaldiving instructor. Failure to weight yourself properly may create a hazardouscondition that could lead to serious injury or death. If you are unsurehow to weight yourself in order to achieve optimum buoyancy underwater andon the surface, do not dive until you have obtained the necessary instructionfrom your diving instructor.If you have any questions regarding yourBuoyancy Compensator or these instructions, contactan Aqua Lung Technical Representative

10 Odyssea Technical ManualPocketThe Odyssea features one large utility pocket located on the left lobe of the BCand two retainers on the right side designed to carry an emergency strobe lightand a snorkel.Drain PlugThe Odyssea is equipped with two drain caps located on the back of each lobeof the BC. The caps are used to rinse the inside of the bladder.AUXILIARY AIR CYLINDERThe auxiliary cylinder is attached to the Odyssea by means of a threadedhand fitting (Fig. 2). Air is added to the Odyssea by opening the cylinder valve.Required for closed circuit and semi-closed circuit diving.P/N 840970P/N 101338Fig. 2Filling the Auxiliary CylinderTo fill the cylinder, you will need an optional fill adapter w/ GERS connection AquaLung part number 840817.1. Before attempting to fill the auxiliary cylinder, ensure that the fill adapter andvalve are completely dry - especially in the area surrounding the valve outletExamine the cylinder markings to verify that it is rated for a fill pressure of 200BAR (2,900 PSI).2. Using a calibrated pressure gauge, check the supply cylinder is filledto 200 BAR (2,900 PSI). It is very important to ensure that the auxiliarycylinder is filled to its total capacity, but not overfilled.WARNING: DO NOT attempt to fill the cylinder if the markings indicate that it is ratedfor a different fill pressure other than 200 BAR (2,900 PSI) Doing so may result in ruptureor explosion in the event of fire or overfilling. Instead, immediately return the unitto a qualified technician and do not use under any circumstances.

113. Inspect the o-ring at the end of the fill adapter to make sure it is in goodcondition. Thread the adapter onto the threaded outlet boss on the cylinder valveuntil finger tight (Fig. 3).CheckO-ringFig. 34. Loosen the yoke knob. While supporting the auxiliary cylinder in one hand, attachthe adapter to a fully pressurized 200 BAR (2,900 PSI) scuba cylinder (Fig. 4).Relief Plug Yoke KnobFig. 45. Relief plug is fixed in the closed position on the GERS fill adapter when fillingthe auxiliary cylinder from a scuba cylinder.WARNING: DO NOT attempt to fill the auxiliary cylinder from a supply cylinder which containsmore than 200 BAR (2,900 PSI). Doing so may weaken and damage the cylinder.6. Open the handwheel on the auxiliary cylinder counterclockwise until thevalve is completely open.7. VERY SLOWLY open the valve on the scuba cylinder.NOTE: Always fill the auxiliary cylinder as slowly as possible by turning the handwheel of thesupply valve slowly to control the rate of fill. Rapid filling will generate heat and will result inan incomplete fill after the cylinder cools. If the cylinder is warm to the touch afterward, thefill rate was too rapid.

12 Odyssea Technical Manual8. Close the valve of the supply cylinder and then the valve of the auxiliarycylinder. Slowly purge the relief plug by depressing it down with your finger torelieve the high pressure air trapped in the adapter.9. Loosen the yoke knob and remove the adapter from the supply cylinder.Unscrew the adapter from the auxiliary cylinder valve. Place the dust capback in place and tighten the yoke knob.Attaching the Auxiliary Cylinder1. Before attaching the cylinder, inspect the o-ring located at the tip of theconnector (Fig. 5).CheckO-ringFig. 52. Insert the cylinder into the retaining sleeve and align the threaded valve outletwith the cylinder connector. Turn the knurled knob counterclockwise and threadthe cylinder connector onto the valve outlet until finger tight (Fig. 6).Fig. 6

13INFLATION METHODSUsing the Oral InflatorTo orally inflate your BC (Fig. 7), place your lips on the oral inflator mouthpiece(A) and exhale a small amount of air into the mouthpiece to purge any waterthat may still be in the housing. While continuing to exhale into the mouthpiece,depress the oral inflator button (B) to inflate the BC immediately after exhaling,release the oral inflator button to prevent air from escaping.abFig. 7Using the Auxiliary Air CylinderTo inflate the BC using the auxiliary air cylinder, open the cylinder valve by turning thehandwheel counterclockwise. Close the cylinder valve when the bladder is adequatelyfilled, otherwise, air will escape from the over pressure relief valves.DEFLATION METHODSThroughout the course of a dive, it will be necessary to release air from theOdyssea using one of the three methods described in the followinginstructions. Each method uses a valve that is in a different location. The methodyou choose at any time may depend on whether you are making your initial descentfeet-first, head-first, or maintaining neutral buoyancy underwater. Alwaysremember to utilize the valve that is at the highest point on the bladder (closestto the surface), depending on your position in the water.Deflation via Oral InflatorTo deflate the Odyssea using the oral inflator, lift the inflator body to its highestpossible position (above the head). Press the oral inflator button (See Fig.7B) tostart venting air. This method is most effective on the surface when starting theinitial descent.NOTE: Depressing the oral inflator while the jacket is empty may cause water to enter theair bladder.

14 Odyssea Technical ManualDeflation via Dual Exhaust ValveInside the inflator’s corrugated hose is a nylon line that attaches the inflator to thedual valve at the top of the airway assembly. You can vent air from the Odysseaby firmly pulling straight down on the inflator. Once resistance is felt, only a pullof 7mm (.25 in) is required. The Rapid Exhaust Valve (REV) provides an effectiveand convenient way to vent air from the BC while in either an upright or facedown swimming position (Fig. 8). It also functions as an over pressure relief valve(OPRV) valve that will open automatically to relieve air pressure. This feature isvery critical for preventing stress or damage to the BC’s bladder (Fig. 9).Fig. 8Deflation via Over Pressure Relief Valve (OPRV)In addition to the over pressure relief valve(OPRV) that is integrated into the dual valve,the Odyssea has another OPRV/dump valve(Fig. 10) located on the lower right lobe (A),opposite the auxiliary air cylinder attachment.The OPRV primary function is to relieveexcess air pressure inside the bladder, butit can also be opened manually by pullingon the ball and cord assembly (B) to quicklydump air.Fig. 9AFig. 10BCAUTION: The proper function of the over pressure relief valve is vital to preventdamage to the BC bladder. Unauthorized service or tampering may render thesevalves inoperable, and could cause the bladder to leak or burst. This type of damageis not repairable and is not covered under warranty.WARNING: Most training agencies recommend that you descend in an upright, feetfirstposition, in order to maintain a slower and more controlled descent. This is especiallytrue if you experience difficulty equalizing your ears or if you are descendingin low visibility conditions.

20 Odyssea Technical ManualPOST DIVE CARE & MAINTENANCEWith proper care, the Odyssea will provide many years of reliable service. The followingpreventive maintenance must be performed to extend the life of the Odyssea:1. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat. Nylonfabric can quickly fade when exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays andextreme heat may damage the welded bladder seams.2. Avoid repeated or prolonged use in heavily chlorinated water, which cancause the Odyssea fabric to discolor and decay prematurely.3. Do not allow the Odyssea to chafe against any sharp objects or roughsurfaces that could abrade or puncture the bladder. Do not set or drop heavyobjects such as cylinders or block weights on the Odyssea.4.Avoid any contact with oil, gasoline, aerosols, or chemical solvents.5. After diving, give the Odyssea a thorough fresh water rinse. Unzip theouter shell and check for water inside the urethane air bladder. If there isany water inside the bladder, it must be rinsed out with fresh water usingthe following procedure:a) Unscrew one of the drain caps (Fig. 32).Fig. 32b) Using a fresh water supply, fill the bladder until about a 1/4 full and reinstall the drain cap. Thoroughly shake the bladder so the water rinses theentire inside of the bladder. Unscrew both drain caps, cylinder connector,OPRV and oral airway assembly and let all the water drain from the bladder.Leave the drain caps, cylinder connector, OPRV and oral airway assembly offuntil the inside of the bladder is dry (Figs. 33 & 34).Fig. 33 Fig. 34

c) Reinstall the drain caps, OPRV, cylinder connector and oral airway assembly.Orally inflate the Odyssea until it is partially inflated. Store the Odyssea partiallyinflated, away from direct sunlight, in a clean, dry area. Do not store in an enclosedspace, such as a car trunk, where temperatures may fall below -18ºC (0ºF) or riseabove 49ºC (120ºF).21

Fill cylinder to 34 BAR (500 PSI) and listen for audible leaks.Submerge in a fresh water supply and visually inspect valve for anyleaks that may be preset. If no leaks are detected, fill cylinder to200 BAR (2,900 PSI), again listen for audible leaks and submergein fresh water. If any leaks are detected, disassemble valve, replaceworn parts, rebuild and retest.

36 Odyssea Technical ManualFINAL ASSEMBLY AND TESTINGWARNING: Protective eyewear must be worn at alltimes during testing.1. Lay the gasket (12) flat inside the connector and mate the retainingcollar of the dual valve body (13) directly over it, onto the manifold.Gently turn the collar clockwise to engage the threads, being carefulto avoid cross threading, and hold the airway in the desired positionwhile tightening the retaining collar by hand until snug.3. While holding the dual valve assembly secure, firmly grasp theinflator assembly and pull it in a straight line directly away from thedual valve assembly. Check the attachment points of the airwaytube at both the dual valve assembly and the inflator assembly. Ifany signs of damage or decay can be detected, it is important toreplace the airway tube before proceeding any further.NOTE: Ensure the dual valve body (13) sealing surfaceis properly aligned with the connector on the BC This isessential to achieve a proper seal.NOTE: Ensure that cylinder connectors, oral airway assembly,caps and OPRV are secured to the BC prior tosubmerging. Failure to do so will cause water to enter theinternal bladder.2. Lay the gasket (12) flat inside the connector and mate the retainingcollar of the cylinder connector (60) directly over it onto themanifold. Gently turn the collar clockwise to engage the threads,being careful to avoid cross threading and hold the GERS cylinderconnector in the desired position while tightening the retaining collarby hand until snug.4. Immerse the inflator and surrounding area of the spiral tube infresh water to wet the lower portion of the airway assembly. Graspthe spiral tube approximately six inches above the inflator assemblyand pull the tube in a straight line away from the inflator withmoderate force while holding the inflator secure. Check to ensurethat no separation occurs at the attachment point, and the tuberemains seated flush against the base of the inflator housing.CAUTION: Do not use tool to tighten the retaining collaronto the BC connector. Doing so may result in overtightening and /or cross threading and could causepermanent damage that will require replacement ofthe BC bladder.5. Finally, bend the airway tube at a right angle. If the airway tubeshows any sign of separating from the inflator assembly it is importantto replace the clamp.

376. Manually inflate the BC until it is taut and fully inflated. Pressthe deflation button (37) and then pull down on the oral inflator toensure a rapid and unobstructed exhaust using both methods ofdeflation. Fully inflate the BC once again, and listen closely for anysigns of leakage.Push to DeflatePull Down OnOral Inflator ToDeflate7. Connect the cylinder to the cylinder connector, turn the cylindervalve on to inflate the bladder until the over pressure relief valve(OPRV) releases the excess air from the bladder. Turn off cylinderand remove the cylinder from the BC. Check caps (63), airway (59),OPRV (64) and cylinder connector (60) for any signs of leakage.If no leakage is detected, let bladder stand inflated for one hour.Check the firmness of the bladder after one hour has passed. If thebladder has remained firm, no air loss has occurred. If the bladderhas lost air, recheck all connections, inflate BC, submerge andcheck for leaks. If a continuous leak is detected, the componentmust be disassembled and examined for damage or contaminationof the seals and seating surfaces.NOTE: If leakage is not immediately detected, allow the BCto stand for at least one hour to ensure that none exists.This Concludes The Testing Procedures ForThe Airway (Non-Mag)CAUTION: If the Odyssea is being used for Non-Magapplications, it must be tested on with a MagnetometerIAW with STANAG requirements 2897 EOD.

38 Odyssea Technical ManualBC Patch Kit InstructionsWARNING: Do not attempt to perform these proceduresusing patches or adhesive other than thoseprovided in the BC Patch Kit pn 42611.3. Apply a generous coat of Weld-On 4784® adhesive to the materialof the BC surrounding the hole or tear. Allow this preliminarycoat to set for at least twenty four hours.WARNING: Do not attempt to patch a tear or puncturewhich is located directly over an internal baffle, within50mm (2 inches) of a seam or is larger than 13mm (1/2inch) in diameter or length.WARNING: Adhesive should only be applied in aroom with plenty of cross ventilation. Carefully readall cautions on the label of the adhesive and avoidinhaling vapors.BC Patch KitCAUTION: It is important to prevent any adhesion betweenthe internal surfaces of the bladder caused bythe entrance of adhesive through the hole or tear. Positionthe bladder as needed to maintain a separation ofthe bladder at the point of the hole or tear.4. After twenty four hours have elapsed, apply a generous secondcoat of adhesive to the material of the BC surrounding the holeor tear, and to the glossy surface only of the patch. Wait exactlytwenty minutes.Glossy SideNon-Glossy Side1. Inspect the material of the BC surrounding the hole or tear toensure that it is perfectly clean and dry. Rinse and dry the BC toclean if necessary.5. After twenty minutes have elapsed, apply a third coat of adhesiveto the BC material, a second coat to the patch. Wait betweenfive to ten minutes for this coat to grow tacky, and immediately applythe patch over the hole or tear, using a small roller to press outany pockets of air that may be present between the patch and BCmaterial. Position a 2.27 kg (5 Lb.) weight directly over the patch toapply pressure, and allow exactly one hour for the patch to set.2. Check to ensure that the patch extends at least twice the diameteror length of the hole or tear on all sides.NOTE: DO NOT allow the patch to set more than onehour before performing the next step.6. Partially inflate the BC no more than 1/2 full, causing the innersurface of the bladder to separate if adhesion has occurred. Applya final coat of adhesive over the entire patch area. Allow twentyfour hours to completely cure, an then fully inflate the BC to ensurethat leakage is no longer present. If the BC does not remaincompletely full for at least one hour, immerse it in fresh water todetermine the source of leakage and repair as needed.This Concludes BC Patch Kit Instructions
