Why does the Olu 120 inflate in 2 stages?
The OLU 120 inflates in 2 stages for 2 reasons:
- the 1st, to limit fogging. This is where the OLU 120 breaks new ground, by introducing an air circuit that prevents fogging during inflation.
- the 2nd, to ensure your safety, should one of the chambers be punctured by accident, the other will be there to support you.
The large black valve on the back of the product makes deflation quick and easy.
How to get the most out of the OLU 120?
The Olu 120 is built with a transparent film that gives a clear, distortion-free vision . To get the most out of it: look after it! Avoid anything that could scratch or cloud the film, such as sand, stones, sunscreen or other abrasive or greasy products.
What should you do if you see reflections in your OLU 120?
Depending on the position of the sun, you may experience slight reflections in the room at vision. Don't panic, just use your hands to shade them and you can continue observing without discomfort.
What should you do if your Olu 120 fogs up?
The air circuit prevents the Olu 120 from fogging up, but you may still see small patches of mist on the top of the bubble, especially when you get out of the water. Don't worry: once you're in the water, the fog will disappear. This is because all the walls come up to water temperature and the mist evaporates.
