Hi,
My LDS highly recommended and sold me the probe lx bc. i already used it once in the pool on fri and in a fresh water lake on sun. i have a couple of issues:
1) sun night, was the only time i got to read the manual etc. I noticed that the QA date on the BC was april07. is the shelf life of oceanic BCs 18 months??? When I bought it, the LDS did not have it in stock and they had to order it in for me and I had to wait at least a couple of weeks. So I am not sure where the delay is. Is this alright or am I supposed to get a later batch or something?
2) Since my LDS did not have the BC in stock, they guestimated my size and ordered a large for me. I wear size 40 shirts and I feel L was a little too big for me. I mentioned this to my instructor the first time i wore it in the pool and he said i was definitely not medium. I want to go and try a medium but I am not sure if LDS would change it.
Because of the above two reasons, I am not feeling good about the 750$ i spent on the BC. Is any of the above addressable? Will mu LDS be able to change this to a newer M BC?
Please help. I am a new diver and have already spent big bucks....
