Picked up and Oceanic Isla BCD with integrated weight system and the pockets included but no weights. Looks like it was barely used to be honest, no fading at all that I can see. I know it's marketed towards women but being a heavy guy I am not too worried especially as it's just black and blue. Pink would have been another story. The Air2 as far as I can tell is a 4th Gen.
Have not hooked it up to a tank but the BCD holds air when I inflate it by mouth and the dump valves work. I also pulled the valves and looked at the threaded port as well as inside as much as I could and from what I can see it's nearly pristine. When it is inflated and I press the power inflate button I can hear the air backflow through the valve so as far as I can tell everything is working fine. I am going to be heading over to where I trained and use it in their pool/check it out on Thursday.
So how did I do? I paid 45 and 30 to ship it by the way. Now I need to find a good deal on some regulators to go along with it. And I actually intend to do the maintenance I can myself unless the dive shop works me a good deal on taking care of the stuff. Anything I need to look for or issues that may come up with this BCD or the Air2?
