Anyone have a line on old style weight pockets for an approximately 20 year old Oceanic Probe Bioflex BC?
I was diving in St Thomas recently with the wife and the crew didn't attach one of the weight pockets correctly and it was lost. Hate to toss a BC that's in good shape due to a missing weight pocket and no, the wife isn't willing to use a weight belt.
The weight pockets in this BC do not have quick release clips and instead rely on a slender, white plastic rod that is inserted through a little triangular, black plastic block in the BC. Oceanic no longer sells this part and my
Google skills have not been able to find one anywhere. Maybe someone knows of a stash somewhere in the backroom of a dive shop?
The other option I'm thinking of is perhaps get a different style weight pocket and sew clips onto the BC. I have a professional seamstress that does industrial sewing at my disposal, so attaching parts would be the easy part.
