Mares BCD weight pouch problems...

[ZenScuba]

I have a Mares Icon BCD and one of the quick release wieght pouches keep falling out in the middle of dives, I have been able to recover it so far. Yesterday it happened in 80fsw and the recovery had to be a seperate dive because I didn't notice it.

When I recovered it I took a good look at it and it seems like the "internal" locking clasp thingy isn't going all the way forward to engauge the lock, Is there a way to disasemble the clasp to clean it out? I think that there is some sand in there and I really don't want to buy a new one when this one is bran new.

UPDATE,

Mares contacted me and is going to send me a new wieght pocket, They are the best! I new there was a reason I dive Mares....

My pockets have just dropped out (seperate dives) while diving and I've unfortunately lost them. Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement pockets. They are such a pain and most times I've caught them before losing the pockets, but the last two dives I lucked out! If anyone knows where I can get them please email me (carleen.shane@xtra.co.nz) many thanks, Shane. P.S. I can purhcase in the US.
