Which bottle on the SECUMAR vest is used in emergencies?

• A. the right bottle
• B. the left bottle
• C. the top bottle
• D. the rear bottle

Answer: (A)

The emergency gas source on a SECUMAR vest is the bottle mounted on the right side. This placement allows quick access with the diver’s right hand and provides a separate, independent regulator so you can breathe from it without disturbing the primary gas supply. In normal use, the left bottle is the main breathing gas; the right bottle is reserved for bailout in an emergency. The other positions aren’t configured for rapid emergency access in standard setups, so the right-hand bottle is the correct choice for emergencies.
