Hello divers all
Just a question for those who might have some experience in this.
Just bought a SeaQuest Diva LX, went on holiday and out of 20 dives integrated weights fell out - TWICE.
First time I thought must be user error, suspected maybe I caught the arm of my wetsuit on the velcro and unlocked the weights.
Checked with friend who has the same BCD she said I was putting them in right.
The second time was on the surface where I know my arms were no where near the weight toggle as I was holding a rope.
This has made me slightly worried. Spoke to supplier who said he can 'rough up' the velcro a bit so it sticks more but i just don't think this is a problem as the velcro seems very strong anyway.
Has anyone experienced a similar thing? I wonder whether the BCDs design is somehow defective?
Just worried as obviously doesn't make for very relaxing diving when you are constantly paranoid that your weight it about to fall out!!
Any answers gratefully received
Thanks
Naomi
