Abstract
A tensioning device for the fastening belt of compressed gas bottles to the back of a jacket or the like for underwater activities. A pneumatic jack is inserted between the two ends of the bottle fastening belt and connected to a suitable compressed gas source through at least one hose provided with a joint for connection with the jack. The jack is fit to supply an optimal tensioning strength of the belt for its tightening on the bottles. The pneumatic jack is connected to the joint through a coupling device which is manually controllable by the diver to allow the supplying of compressed air to the jack through the opening of a suitable valve positioned in the joint.
