Sold! For Sale: Classic Seatec Military Horse-collar BCD

[Trace Malinowski]

Can you ship a full CO2 cartridge? Don’t think so…

Emergency flotation that floats you face up, and keeps your head above the surface. I imagine that if you are floating in rough seas, a distance away from shore, waiting for a while to be picked up, you would absolutely want one of these BC's! You might jettison your scuba, yet still retain your emergency flotation. This is so neat!

It might be possible for an in-person sale depending.

If you bought the new one which doesn't look nearly as cool and authentic, you'll pay $298. If someone wants the real deal blast from the past, I wouldn't part with it for $50.

…and you can make your own seltzer water while waiting to be picked up!

I dropped the price to $150. That's my bottom offer if someone really wanted one. Otherwise, I'll keep it.

 

[Compressor]

It's a fair price for sure. A blast from the past.

This were considered too dangerous for basic scuba training. I had to pass the 1st level of training before being allowed to wear one. It was 25 years before I stopped using one And bought a stab jacket.
