Hi
I was on the boat "The Humbolt" in San Diego (Aug 9) from 'Waterhorse Charters' just 60 seconds before jumping on the water on my last dive one of the boat's crew 'Annita' just saw the cap of the "Remote Exhaust Valve" (valve between corrugated hose & BCD) come off and yes I just got it checked at my LDS before this trip.
Luckily we found the O-ring and the seal, put it together (actually Annita did) and I was able to make the dive.
I doubt that the technician from my LDS forgot to totally tight screw the
cap of the "Remote Exhaust Valve" maybe someone in the boat was playing with my BCD...?
Anyway how can I buy the cap, seal & O-ring to add to my 'save a dive kit'? My LDS don't carry Sherwood products in stock. Can you PM me what dealer actually has Sherwood BCDs & order parts quickly? I live between Milwaukee and Chicago in the Wisconsin side. I believe that Sherwood Avid is the most popular jacket BCD in the market but to get parts for small repairs seems to be a headache, please prove me I'm wrong.
For little parts it would be nice to just order from the Internet, to actually drive to the LDS and have them order a small part and drive back again a week later to pick it up seems to me like an obsolete way to do business (IMHO).
Does any one knows if the threads (pull dump valves) on the BCD are compatible with other brands?
Sherwood could give the closest LDS a commission for a 'Sherwood internet' sale that way everybody is happy
Thanks
