BCD question

[Ashm12]

Hi all.. very new to this site and new to scuba diving i have a silly/question about my bcd. When i strap my tank in and tighten it with the strap, i have hardly any velcro left to secure it in place. Im sure there is an easy explanation to my question, but Im such a rookie lol. Any help would be great

If you're using an 8" diameter tank sometimes the velcro won't reach, nothing to worry about though, it's just there to keep the extra webbing from flapping in the wind.

Make sure your buckle is woven correctly, there are many wrong ways to do it. It should be in your owners manual.

this video is a good one for normal cam bands, but does not correlate to all of them, especially if they are the metal scubapro style cam buckles. Lots of other good diving videos on that channel as well
