Lightly used Aqualung Dimension i3 BC - Size Large. $400. I bought this new in January and used it for about a dozen checkout dives with students. It is in excellent condition. The i3 inflator is intuitive and easy to use. This BC is extremely comfortable. It uses the Sure-Lock weight systems and has trim pockets on the back. The back inflation bladder is very streamlined and LP hose and SPG routing is beneath the bladder (less chance of snagging in tight spots such as on a wreck). The innovative octo-pocket works very well making it easy to rapidly deploy your alternate air source.

This BC is near perfect except one of the weight pockets is an older style Sure-Lock (same snap, but different pocket construction, function/operation/fit is the same). I had returned from a boat trip missing a pocket, and grabbed a spare that the shop had on hand. It works just fine, so I never bothered to order a replacement. Priced accordingly.

The Dimension i3 is a pleasure to dive with, and the load distribution on land is very comfortable. You will like this BC!

I can take some pictures this evening and upload. In the attached photo from the manufacturer, you'll see the back side has grooved plastic. The old style has nylon over plastic with no grooves. The snaps, handles, and velcro flaps are virtually identical.
 
Was unable to post pictures last night. Will post by tomorrow for sure.

UPDATED - I've replaced the old-style weight pocket with a matching new style pocket. Price is going back up to $375. The replacement pocket cost a little more than that and, in my very humble opinion, this BCD is a bargain at $375.
