Which of the following is NOT a step in equipment assembly?

Check for proper fit
Depressurize system
Test regulators
Connect hoses

The correct answer is: Depressurize system

Depressurizing the system is not considered a step in the process of equipment assembly for scuba diving. Instead, it is more relevant to the maintenance or preparation of equipment when it's necessary to ensure the safety and functionality of the gear before use. Typically, before assembling scuba gear, divers will ensure their equipment is clean and in working order, but depressurizing is not part of the assembly procedure itself. During equipment assembly, the focus is on ensuring that all components, such as tanks, regulators, and hoses, fit together securely and function correctly for safe diving. Steps like checking for proper fit, testing regulators, and connecting hoses are crucial for ensuring that the equipment is ready for use in the water, where any failure could lead to dangerous situations.
