I have a Scubapro LadyHawk which I love. But it's a bit big. I wish I could say that I have lost so much weight diving that it just doesn't fit anymore, but I would be lying. I bought it too big.
Across the shoulders: it's a bit wide, so I have to keep the sternum strap buckled or else it might slip off my shoulders.
Around the waist: the cummerbund has to be tucked in under my weight pouches because it wraps so far around. I've adjusted the buckets that clip over the cummerbund so that there is less "extra" but it didn't make that much of a difference.
While diving: it will sometimes shift side to side and just isn't "part" of me.
Normally I dive a 7mm one piece and I'm tightening everything down. It's comfortable in the water but I am aware that it could fit better. Whenever I'm in the pool it's just too big. I'll be inflated on the surface and the shoulder straps will be 3" above my shoulders. I am going to be diving warm water this summer in a 3mm and am concerned about it being too big. I bought it to fit a 7mm where the majority of my diving will be and accept that it will be big when I dive warm water, but it's big in local water too.
Here's what I am looking for: simple to moderate adjustments that I can make to the BC to customize the size. I'm decent at sewing so I'm not too afraid. I am not looking to buy a new BC or go to a backplate and wing or anything else. My BC is fine, I'd just like to fine tune it.
Any hints or experience would be great.
Unless there is someone out there with a medium LadyHawk with about 55 dives on it and an Air2 who would like a large.
Thanks
