1. Stabjacket / BCD / Wing
Attach the cansiter housing to your stabjacket / BCD / Wing using either the tank bands or an
11” adapter.
As previously mentioned, the Poseidon MKVI is sold with an optional backpack and buoyancy
compensator. This is to allow more experienced divers the choice of using an existing personal
backpack, harness, and buoyancy compensator. Poseidon supplies the tightly-integrated
Besea, harness, and buoyancy wing system for use with the MKVI. The front extrusion rail on
the Poseidon MKVI accepts the 11-inch adapter (see Figure 1-13). Attachment of the Besea
is as quick as aligning the 11-inch adapter pin-bolts to the upper holes in the Besea harness
as shown in Figure 1-13. Make sure that you have correctly adjusted the length-size of the
Besea harness back plate before aligning the 11-inch adapter.
Once the correct alignment of the 11-inch adapter pin-bolts have been found, secure the
11-inch adapter position on the front rail of the Poseidon MKVI.
The optional buoyancy compensator wing can be quickly attached or removed from the Besea
harness using the four guide pins attached to the eight attachement bolts on the back of the
Besea harness. The Besea comes with a convenient carrying handle that can be used to
transport the entire assembled Poseidon MKVI to and from the dive preparation area.
11-inch Adapter (See separate assembly manual)
Figure 1-13.
Align the pin-bolts of the 11-inch adapter with the
upper hole and the most suitable hole of the plastic/
metal (optional) back plate of the Besea harness.
Fasten it using the wing nuts.
You can attach a Poseidon MKVI to your
BCD/Stabjacket using a tank band.
If your BCD/Stabjacket is equipped with a mounting point
for an 11” adapter, the Poseidon MKVI can be bolted to the
BCD/Stabjacket using an 11” adapter.
