:scuba: Any ideas on how to make a XL us divers BC fit my L body?I don't want to go to the expense of a new one unless I have to. It gets old having your BC up around your ears.

pizza, beer, milkshakes, supersize fries. That will turn an L into an XL.
Hard to say until we know that

:scuba: Calypso, from about 1995 or '96.
If it is the style I believe it is it is a one piece vest style. Any changes made to the jacket will interfere with the internal bladder.
Truthfully you should consider selling it and treating yourself to a different style.
I know of a calypso in traditional jacket style but I can't remember when the change was made. This one can be tightened up by replacing the cummerbund and taking in the shoulder without interfering with the bladder. It will take a little work because the bladder has wings that slip into the shoulder carriage.

:diver: That's what I thought. I tried safety pins on the inside of the cummerbund once and one came open during a dive. (OUCH) I wanted a new BC anyway, I was just trying to talk myself out of spending the money. Thanks for the advice. Good diving to you.
