Closed: Oceanic Excursion BCD - XL - SOLD

[jgttrey]

Bought new in summer 2013. Has the updated QLR3 weight system (the older black versions were the subject of a recall, these are the new version, which are grey).

As you can see from the pictures, this is in 9/10 condition. Looking at my logbook, I had approximately 25-30 dives, at most, on it before I moved to a BP/W. It has always been stored inside and is in near perfect shape. I held onto it in the event I ever needed a conventional BCD for teaching, but my shop wants me in a Zeagle, so having an Oceanic BCD doesn’t do me any good.

It’s a great BCD. A couple of thoughts to share: This model tends to run large, so the XL is generous. The wing is 50 lbs and has a bungee. While it worked great in warmer waters with an AL 80, it’d be ideal for colder water divers that use heavy wetsuits or dive steels and need more lift.

It was 600 new, IIRC, and that’s what the minimally changed current Excursion model sells for today.

$200 with buyer to pay actual shipping. Or $225 and I’ll take care of the shipping if you prefer certainty of price…

Paypal is easiest.

Good afternoon, do you remember when the excursion was last serviced? Thanks.

Other than post-dive flushing and cleaning, I don't service wings or BCDs unless they have a problem on inspection, in which case I will replace or rebuild the part. Haven't had to do that with this one. A BCD is a service as needed item. Tearing down a working LPI is more likely to create a problem than prevent one, IMHO.

The bladder stays tight as a snare drum over night and the OPV and LPI both function perfectly. However, I'm happy to throw in a new-in-bag DGX power inflator for an extra $15, which is about what it cost me, if somebody is concerned about it.

Per a request to upload some photos of the cam band area and the area around the neck.
