Hydros pro Replacement shoulder strap possible? Or send in for repair?

[Clayton122]

Hello.

I was wondering if it was at all possible to order/home replace a replacement shoulder strap for the Hydros Pro? I cant seem to find parts easy for that.

My left shoulder strap, the rubber that holds the strap to the backplate ( goes around an inserted bolt ) has ripped at one of the two points of contact

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Yes, you should be able to.
The whole idea and marketing behind the hydros pro is replaceable parts.

Between you and me, that's why I sold my hydros pro. It had about 150 dives and was in pristine condition. But I could see the weak points that would/could get expensive in the future.

So I sold mine off.

I wonder if @buddhasummer can get that rubber shoulder strap part for you.

It certainly can be replaced. Don't you have a Scubapro dealer locally that you can contact for the replacement?

I would contact the dealer you bought your BC from and insist on free replacement under warranty.

I have little to add, other than that looks like an absolutely terrible design and a weak point. If you can find a replacement, I'd probably replace both sides at the same time.

For those curious what the BC looks like aside from a zoomed-in photo:

How many people you know that have this problem? What is the percentage of BC's sold that had this problem? 0.0001%?

I cant complain to much. This thing has about 300 dives on it. This is the only thing that has ever gone wrong.

I just cant seem to find a place to buy the strap from anywhere.

I actually got it from the shop that I teach for. They wont outright give me a new one, and have been unable to find a way to order just the strap, but will pay to send it in for repair.

Problem is, I leave for vacation in a few weeks, and I would really like it back by then. Its going to be a close thing I guess.

Have you contacted your SP dealer?

The shop wasn't able to find a way to order just the strap or you can't?
