Hi,
Getting back into diving and traded a buddy of mine BCs. I had a near-new Tusa Liberator that my uncle gave me, but it was a medium and didn't fit, and my buddy had an older Zeagle BC given to him by his dad some years ago that was too large for him. So, good swap, at least they fit each of us
However, I can't seem to find any markings on the Zeagle to tell which type of BC it is. I downloaded the Zeagle manual from the web site, and my best guess is that it is a Ranger, but is there any way to tell? (maybe I should take a photo and post it?)
Also, the integrated weight system is broken.
My main question is how does one determine if the BC is usable and do dive shops service BCs at all (like to fix the integrated weight system?). I'm more concerned with safety, obviously. I've used the BC in a pool without problems, inflates great, pulls me right to the service without problems, feels good. The person I traded with just used it during his Rescue Diver dives last week, and has used it the last year or so, but hasn't dove that much until recently.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the ramblings
