2 - GENERAL WARNINGS / OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

While this is a product of high quality, the user is not exempt from problems

connected with the incorrect use of the product or failure to follow the rules of

safe diving.

If the instructions provided in the manual are unclear or difcult to understand, please contact

OCEAN REEF at infoitaly@oceanreefgroup.com before using the equipment or attempting any

repairs.

IMPORTANT

The content of this manual is based upon the latest information available at the time of print.

OCEAN REEF reserves the right to modify any products, processes and manufacturing techniques

at any time. It is the technicians’ responsibility to acquire the latest information and parts from

OCEAN REEF for service and repairs to be performed.

Carefully read this instruction manual before use, and keep it for future reference.

This instruction manual does not replace a diving course.

DO NOT USE the SAV III Basic if any part is broken.

DO NOT DIVE YOUR OCEAN REEF IDM IF SAV IS LEAKING WATER OR AIR. TROUBLE

SHOOT THE SAV IF THERE IS SIGN OF WATER OR AIR LEAKAGE.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR OVER OPEN THE SAV – THIS CAN CAUSE THE VALVE

CAP OR SCREW/RING TO BECOME STUCK OR DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. As with all

valves operated while SCUBA diving, tightening, and opening should be done gently

and never with force. Saline, water, and other residues can affect operating the SAV.

Follow maintenance instructions properly to avoid issues.

It is essential that the diver using this product is properly trained and equipped and

fully understand these instructions before attempting to use the SAV. Testing the use

on surface and in conned water is strongly recommended.

Do not modify or alter the product in any way.

In order to maintain the warranty, service and routine maintenance of the products

must be performed by the end user as indicated by OCEAN REEF and described in

chapter 8 MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND STORAGE.

For details, contact an authorized OCEAN REEF dealer at: https://diving.

OCEAN REEF refuses all responsibility for damages caused by non-compliance with

the instructions contained in this manual. These instructions do not extend the warranty

or the responsibilities stated by OCEAN REEF terms of sales and delivery.

Before using the SAV III Basic the user must ensure that the product has been properly

inspected and maintained. (see Chapter 8 Maintenance, Cleaning and Storage).

Dust and any debris in the area of the SAV can cause malfunction in the product

or even compromise its correct use. In order to avoid this, before use, make sure

that the SAV is perfectly clean.

While the SAV provides the diver the ability of breathing ambient air on surface, it does

not change or eliminate the potential hazards of diving. As a further component of the

diver’s equipment, it should be operated according to this manual and included in

one’s conguration only when fully understood and condent use achieved.

While our SAVs feature a valve to avoid water to rush in the mask when submerged,

this is intended in vertical position and normal diving trim position. According to the

position of the valve, leaking can be more serious. For this reason, the valve should not

be forgotten open, upon submerging as instructed in this manual.

Check the COMMUNICATION port plug: it should be in place, screwed into it’s tting

if you have not installed a communication unit microphone/PTT assembly. IF you have

opened and closed this port plug, make sure youu have placed the at gaskeet that

should be on the inside perimeter - back in place.

Verifying quick connection hoses before the dive is imperative. Attach and detach

hoses from male connections multiple times (before and after pressurizing) to ensure

the connection system operates smoothly. Make sure, once nally connected, that the

coupling is secure by pulling on the female part of the hose, without unlocking the

quick connections. The hoses must remain assembled on the male part rmly. Always

make sure you do not get dirt, sand or other material in the hose mechanism.

3 - FEATURES

The Surface Air Valve / SAV III / SAV III basic allows the diver to breathe ambient air while

at the surface conserving the diver’s gas supply.

To use, simply open the valve while on the surface or outside of the water to breathe

ambient air, and close it when ready to dive.

Keep in mind cold water diving might require specic procedures.

• Easy to grab, sturdy design.

• Large air vents

• Easy to assemble on the mask

*The Surface Air Valve III Basic is retro compatible with all prior OCEANREEF IDM

models that do not have a Professional or Neptune III SAV installed and an available

OCTOPUS/SAV port. The Neptune III SAV III is permanently installed on the IDM/FFM.

1 - Unscrew the OCTOPUS/SAV plug

from the port on the right side of the

mask (facing away from you).

5 - ASSEMBLY

2 - Make sure the at gasket is

located on the internal perimeter

of the port. Check integrity of the

gasket and ensure absence of

debris and dirt.

3 - Insert the SAV III Basic or SAV

in the OCTOPUS/SAV port aligning

the threads.

4 - Holding the base of the SAV (part

B) as seen in the picture, screw in

the body of the SAV, very rmly, by

tightening clockwise.

5 - Now practice opening and closing the top (part A) of the SAV to ensure proper

operation of the product. Part A should be closed and opened by operating

only on the part itself and not the valve body (B). Opening the valve is achieved

turning part A counter-clockwise, closing = clockwise. Part A should not be

overtightened nor cranked open to avoid getting stuck.

6 - WITH YOUR SCUBA SETUP CONNECTED AND OPEN (FULL)

CYLINDER donn the mask as instructed in Neptune III Series Products

manual, with part A SAV screw open. Once the mask is donned properly

test breathing from the SAV. You will notice you are breathing ambient

air and not gas from cylinder. Close the SAV screw (part A). Proper

sealing of the mask on the face and proper closing of the SAV will result

in you now breathing gas from cylinder.

NOTE! Before each dive make sure part B (SAV Body) is tightened

properly on the OCTOPUS/SAV mask port, if not fully tightened working

on part A (Top) can cause the body (B) to open resulting in water leaking

that could cause serious injury and may even lead to fatal accident.

Leaking SAV:

Any leaking should be easily spotted while operating the pre-dive checks before

descent. In case the leaking is noticed once the dive has started (bubbles seen

from the valve, or you feel water seeping in from the SAV side):

1. Ensure the SAV is closed while upright. If not, close the SAV and verify

you don’t have leaks. Exhaling/clearing the mask as per training skills will

dump all water and you will be able to identify if the SAV is still leaking.

2. If the SAV is closed, but it is still leaking ABORT THE DIVE. When on the

boat/on land, ensure the SAV is clean, doesn’t have any debris or other

deposit that prevent it from closing properly. If you have a SAV III basic

make sure the body of the valve is properly screwed in the port and

make sure that the gasket in the port is in place. If you own a Neptune

III with installed SAV III, make sure there is no debris or deposit that

prevents the ring to close, make sure the cap is not unscrewed.

If these steps of troubleshooting don’t result in a perfectly working SAV – contact

a Service Center or our Customer Service. DO NOT DIVE.

Table 2: Periodic maintenance program

7.1 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning frequency must ensure to the user a good protection and the right functionality. When

using any disinfectant, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Follow this with

a thorough rinse in fresh water, and allow the equipment to dry completely before use. Since

some chemicals can damage surfaces, they should be tested prior to use for each individual item

or surface. After disinfecting, one must take care not to contaminate the equipment, such as by

handling it when storing. Therefore, dry, pack and store any sanitized equipment in a disinfected bag

or container using washed/sanitized hands. For an efcient cleaning of any part of the equipment,

soaking in clean warm water (around 40°C/100F°)

adding a colorless not perfumed hand washing liquid soap is suggested. Afterwards, rinse deeply

under fresh water to remove any soap residual and allow the perfect drying in a

safe and clean environment.
