Up for sale is a used but in very good condition back-inflate, integrated-weight BCD called the Seaquest Balance with Airsource2 Octo/Inflator. I have owned this BCD since August, 2008. I have bought it used from a diver who has put in around 50 dives on it. I have put in around another 40 dives on it ever since I owned it. It is in very good condition for its age. The Airsource2 Octo/Inflator was over-hauled using all-new parts last September 2008. The Airsource2 has remained unused since then. The BCD has been stored using a BC hanger (not included) and partially inflated. I am very meticulous about my scuba gear. This BCD is rinsed and dried properly prior to storage. It is always stored partially inflated. It will include its ditchable weight pockets, the AirSource Octo/Inflator and the inflator hose. I am selling it for US$250 plus actual shipping costs. I have the same item advertised on Craigslist (Vancouver, BC Canada).
