How to use the SCORKL safelyUpdated 2 months ago

Every SCORKL user is required to understand the risks and safety precautions necessary to dive underwater safely. All underwater breathing devices, including the SCORKL, can be dangerous and can result in severe injury or even death if used improperly.

Pulmonary barotrauma and ear barotrauma are two injuries that can happen when using the SCORKL underwater. To avoid these injuries you should:

  • Never hold your breath while diving, especially during ascent (breathe continuously).

  • Never ascend rapidly (do not exceed an ascent rate of 6 metres (20 feet) per forty seconds). 

  • Equalise your ears continuously as you descend

For a comprehensive list of the risks and safe methods of use, please consult your User Manual, and the Safety and How to Use instructional videos below:
