Hi, I'm searching to buy a used BCD and I've seen a Sherwood Freedom BCD that seems to be almost new.
I've been searching in the Sherwwod scuba site, but it seems that that BCD is already discontinued but I cannot realize since when.
When was it discontinued ?
Besides, somewhere I've seen that it comes with Weight Integrated, but the photo of the used one seem not to have WI.
 
That BC was discontinued in 2004. So best case that BC is 6 years old, but could be older if it is not from the last year of production.
 
Thanks for your answer.
Is this a Freedom BCD? I've seen with WI, but this seems not to have WI.

I have Sherwood Freedom BCD that I need all new rubber for. its and old unit (maybe 15 years old) and I don't want to part with it. What parts are avail for it. Thank you thelastsumurai@aol.com
 
Hello, I recently purchased my first set of scuba gear, which was a complete package including a Sherwood Freedom BC, which I have heard some good reviews about.

My BC seems to leak, and I found that there is a pocket on the left side, and behind that pocket, there is a hole in the fabric with a metal eye loop around it and a fabric loop sewn above the hole

In the hole, you can see the rubber bladder of the BC, and there is a hole in that too, which looks intentional. There is also a plastic/metal plug rolling around inside the rubber bladder, and I can move it so that it sticks out of the hole in the bladder and eyeloop hole in the fabric???

Anyone know what that is for? It is obvious to me that the plug "broke" out of its hole, but I don't know what it was for or how to fix it....

Is there a place that you can purchase a replacement bladder for the BC?

Thanks,
Doug

We do not offer replacement bladders for our BCs but many of our dealers will be willing to "upgrade" your BC and give you a discount on a new one.
