I'm not sure a manual came with any of the horsecollar vests???

The seaChute was a dual bladder horsecollar which made it rather unique to that style
and was capable of being used for backup air supply in the event of emergency, which in
the 70s was on the up side of advanced bouyancy compensator design.
I have a manual for a simple Scubapro BC, purchased in the early 70s and included alot of user info
not found in todays marketplace due to liability with self repairs and maintenance.
Im pretty sure they were sold with some literature along that same line, but I
could be mistaken.

funny how long they kept that model name. I have a SeaChute UTS BC, a jacket style, from the late 80's...

yeah, kinda like the Chevy "Impala", lol.
I never dove a Seachute when they were new, but I
did move a few over the counter at the shop i worked at in Texas.
It's an interesting piece of history nonetheless, and would be
a sweeter catch if I could scare up the original instruction literature.
I did spend some time with a blue plastic Scubapro Turtle (often mistakenly called Nautilus)
on my back on several dives.
Back then a notable break from the conventional bouyancy compensator design

My college class in 1988 used DACOR horse collars (no, we rarely had anything new....)
