There is a shot of the life raft in the store portion, under the  MC PFD/DLR
under more detail-----yes, this was a bit hard to find.  The  PFD would save
a diver with heavy gear on in rough seas, so for kayakers it would be bettr
still. You can see the present PFD worn on the front in the MC PFD/DLR
links. It is put on first, then the BC system.
