[Reef Inmate]

Hi, I am looking for spare weight pockets for an Oceanic Chute 1 BCD.
Does any one have or know where I can get some?

Thanks

Leigh

I have looked on the website and cant seem to find the integrated weight pockets for the chute 1 BCD. I have mailed them twice with no reply.

I am in Durban, South Africa.

You could always try sending a PM to Doug Krause who, I believe, works for Oceanic and maintains this thread for them.

I have one of these BCDs 2 feet behind me. It does not have integrated weights. Hence the lack of integrated weight pocket availability. The only weight pockets on the BCD are the trim weight pockets by the bottom of the bladder...

I must be mistaken then???

The embroidered logo clearly saying "Chute 1"

The full view of the BCD showing the weight pocket(the part with the green handle).

The loose weight pocket.

The agents in SA have one with a broken plastic backing - If I can't find a good one Ill buy that one.

I also am looking a weight pocket for a Chute 2 BCD. I believe they are the same as the Chute 1. If someone knows of one, Please let me know.
