BC leaks

[fierodiver]

I hope somebody can help with this one. I've got an old (appox 15 yrs) TUSA BCD. It's a vest type,has a single strap.I can't find a model number so I'm at somewhat of a loss to identify it further. Anyway,it leaks,I've patched it multiple times. I would like to get a new bladder for it. My LDS just wants to sell me a new BCD. They dont deal in TUSA blah,blah,blah. I like this thing and would like to fix it if it's cost effective. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

to get a new bladder(if its available) install it will cost almost as much as a new bcd..Its 15 yrs old time to get a new one...

I agree, it's time for a new one. You can get an emotional bond with the new one.

Even I would dump it and get another newer (used) bladderless BC for $175 or less.
