Check the buckle, many on newer BCs actually have numbers embossed.

Or, try looking at:
http://www.aqualung.com/technical_library/ElanOM.pdf
page 14 -- looks about like how I thread mine on my Aeris.

this is a cressi s111, i cant figure out how to thread the cam buckle itself, no numbers though

 

[rmannix]

Most buckles have a diagram molded into the edge. Hard to see

Check my earlier post -- I added a link to an Aqualung manual. The Aqualung threading is the same as my Aeris, probably about the same as the Cressi.

Don't feel bad, when I worked in Cayman there was always a pile of BCD's not being used because the Divemasters/Instructors had no clue how to weave them.....

So I make it a point that any leadership course I teach (DM,AI, Instr, Instr. Trainer) that my students KNOW how.

I ended up generating a modified version of what Aqualung has, includes wetting the strap, rotating the buckle up before doing the Fig 4 final thread and close part.

We make it a point to show this to our OW students. Some remember how to do it and some don't by the time they get their own gear but when they left the class they had done it at least a couple of times.
