I have a Scubapro Stab Jacket (below) that’s nigh on to 20 years old.

It still works great but the accessory pockets are a touch small. Twenty years ago, I didn’t carry all the gewgaws and doodads that I regularly dive with now, and I’m wishing for more storage space. Before I go looking for someone to make custom pockets for me, I thought I’d ask if anyone knew of a ready-made that’d do the trick.

The pockets have a see-thru, easy-drain mesh back and attach by metal hooks to D-rings on the BCD. The centers of the rings are ~51/2” apart. The pockets themselves are ~8” wide and ~6 inches tall. The front face has a slight pleat but it still doesn’t hold much more than a flat pocket would.

I don't much care what they look like, so long as they fit securely and hold more "stuff". If you know of a source for ready-made replacements, I’d be obliged if you’d direct me to them. Scubapro abandoned this detachable pocket design not long after their snorkels lost their ping-pong balls so they’re no help.
