Trying to get a timeline on Scubapro BCD's ... Looking to buy a Vintage Finseal BCD and was wondering when they were selling at scubapro .. I'm a burnt out Boat Captain/Instructor and am thinking of getting back in after 15? years out of the water ... I have 1 of the Scubapro BCD's with the weights in it and don't like it ...I/you cannot just Ignore the Integral Weight system and wear a weight belt because of the way the Jacket is Made/Cut ...
I'm looking for something to use ..I won't be diving much ..Bad Back and 1 knee for starters .. anyhow can anyone fill me in on the progression of the BCD models back then ..I used the Orange Ones almost up until my "Retirement" .. I was a certified Scubapro Tech at 1 point but lost track of the models when I started "driving" full time ..
Finseal ..When were they made and what was their place in the Scubapro Line ? I'm thinking they might have been a "cheaper" alternative to what became the Classic Black BCD .. Any help will be really appreciated ..I tried to research this but there seems to be nothing on the Internet about it ...
Sorry This is so Long ...Don
