Zodiac - How to use

The inflatable boat, more commonly known as the "Zodiac", is a workhorse for diving safaris. Safe use requires some guidance and is briefly introduced in this video. The practices of your local operator may differ from this so consult your dive master.
In my experience, most “diving accidents” actually happen on the surface and especially when moving to the Zodiac.
Special thanks to the gentlemen in the video!

I was at elphinstone dive site in Egypt I was struggling to get out of water back to zodiac splashing water every where and two beautiful massive white tips were circulating me 😂

What’s your recommendation for removing weights from a weight integrated bcd as in the Zeagle Ranger. Challenging to unzip the pockets, pull out the mesh weight bag, and securely hand up. Heading to Galápagos in two weeks. Nice video😊

[@diveandtellastory]

Thank you! About weight pockets. If they are difficult to remove, I would leave them in place. Fill the BCD at least halfway before taking it off and push the bottle from the bottom when the zodiac boy pulls the BCD on board. Shouldn't be a problem. Wow Galapagos, Happy Bubbles!

No it's not! This was filmed almost "in real life conditions" and in one take so all mistakes are also included!
