Sure-Lock II too sensitive

[Emerlin]

Hi, I've owned a Seaquest Pro-Unlimited for years and never had any problem with the sure-lock system. I recently moved to a new BCD Dimension with Sure-Lock II. I find that the locking mechanism is too sensitive and can easily be ''unlocked'' during a dive. It actually happened to me when I was diving in strong current over a wreck. I remember a contact with my bcd and the structure then 20-30 seconds later the pocket slided out...

When loaded with lead, I can quite easily disconnect it with light pressure.... Can the tightness be increased? I did not bring the BCD back for servicing yet...

thx

I had the same issue- the pouches were securely locked in place (audible "click") on the boat just before jumping in, but when I lightly brushed a structure during a wreck dive, one of them popped out. This happened twice. Also, when doing multiple dives to this wreck (HMS Yukon), I found someone else's sure-lock II laying in the sand. A good indication I'm not the only one with this problem.

I couldn't find a solution such as an adjustment to the mechanism.

Sadly, because except for this issue I loved my Aqualung Balance BCD, I replaced it with a Zeagle Brigade which has a highly secure Velcro cover on the weight release ripcord system.
