My dive buddy has this BC for 5 years, uses it maybe 1-2 times a year so total I am guessing 100 dives at most. Well her first dive of year 5 one valve just broke in half, we are on a boat for a week so I decided to glue it up with epoxy. Looked good but when we blew it up the second valve just fell apart, So I glued that one up. Took it on a dive and she pulled the back dump that just fell apart. OMG.. never seen anything like this in my 45 years of diving. I have BC's that are fine still after 25 years. I do own one of these Scubapro Geo's myself, have not used it as much but now afraid to let one of my kids use it. Any suggestions or ideas how this can happen? Has anyone seen something like this before? She stores it in her bedroom. Takes care of her equipment with care even more than I would, she even had all her equipment checked out at Scubapro shop before this trip, something I would never even think of. Boat guides commented that the light travel BC's are really thin materials, not a good idea for serious divers. I think some truth to that. Still this should not happen, maybe just a one time deal or maybe recall we don't know about.
