Hi guys I am new to the DIY Forum so bear with me if the Question seems easy to solve.
We ve been experimenting with sidemount configurations and DIY wings down in Guatemala to find a perfect fit.
We've tried pretty much every sidemount commercial BCD and something is always not quite right. (Or we are just hard to please.)
So we went our own way and have been experimenting for a while using different materials for the inflatable portion of the BCD. We have some good designs, but sooner or later it all comes down to the inner bladder. Tried tons of materials and they always give out after some dives.
For the outer shell we have no problems, straps and plates no prob. but for the inner bladder we just can't make it work.
We are giving up and going mainstream. So do you guys have any info on a Manufacturer that could custom make inner bladders for us? I know we won't go into mass production,so if custom is not an option anyone know where they sell the inner bladders, of different shapes and sizes? We only need the latex/plastic bladder, the rest we have it covered.
Thanks
