SeaQuest/AquaLung Pro QD parts

[sreno155]

Just returned from a great 7 day dive trip to Cozumel and stayed at Scuba Club resort.
This was my brothers first time dive trip and he (we) had a great time diving.
We did do the wreck dive (bad advice on my part) and my brother lost one of his ditchable weight pockets. He did great and did not panic. I joined him as he struggled to not bob to the surface too quickly and perform the safety stop. Luckily we had a bouy rope to hold on to. Needless to say he was pretty upset at himself and didn't realize until we assessed the situation on the boat that the loss of his wt. pocket caused him to act like a human cork. I was diving behind him and didn't see the wt. pocket drop. (my bad)

Anyway we are trying to find where to purchase a replacement ditchable surelock wt. pocket for his SeaQuest/AquaLung Pro QD+ BCD? Any ideas on line?
Any help would be much appreciated.

If it uses the surelock weight system, then LeisurePro carries them.

And they aren't cheap at like $25 each. My husband lost a weight pocket diving in Belize, which fortunately didn't cause an uncontrolled ascent, but he had to dive the rest of the trip with the weight in his regular pocket. This is one reason (besides wanting to go back-inflate) that my husband recently sold his Pro QD+ and bought a Zeagle Ranger.

Yes, he does have the the sure lock system on his Pro QD+.

I also have the Pro QD+ but it is an older model. It does have the sure lock weight pockets (which aren't quite so sure :huh: ). They have the velcro release weight pockets. I am thinking that I like that form of attachment better.

Thank You all for your help.

I agree that the surelock is not so sure, but velcro is worse by far. around 1995 when all manufacturers realized that zeagle had the right idea and decided to join them in weight integration, everyone used velcro to hold their pockets in. Back then I was finding dropped pockets all the time (velcro just isn't a load bearing material, and its hold weakens when wet) within 2-3 years everyone had replaced the velcro on their pockets with some sort of mechanical fastener (some better than others), but in my opinion, non even come close to zeagles ripcord system.
