Im a new diver and have rented several bcs and ended up buying this one. Ive used it on 15 dives since buying it and havent had a problem. The weight pockets are a good buy with it and they are easy to use.

BCD is working well. Im what you say a larger guy 270lbs and XL fits fine. I Have had a couple dives so far with no problems. Intergrated weight pockets work well just make sure they are clicked into place. Coundnt give it a five star as I dont have much to campare it too as Im just beginning my dive life.

Rating: Good Quality BC
Reviewer: Jack Fessenden,
I purchased this as a BC for my non Tech diving activities and for class/pool activities, I have found it to be durable enough for all of the activities that I am involved in with my D.M. course and recreational dives. Everything is within reach and easy to manipulate. Definately recommend.

Rating: Great BC for the money!
Reviewer: Willis Chung, - View all my reviews
Both my son (13) and I own this BC and we find it comfortable and easy to use. The floatation is more than adequate, and it is comfortable to put on and remove.
A few niggling points. The integrated weight pockets can fall out of their sleeves if you have too much weight in them (6 pounds is OK, 8 pounds is not), so if you have more than 12 pounds, put the extra weight into the velcro pockets on the side. The strap to hold the tank on needs to get "broken in" to the right length to hold tanks, so be careful the first couple of times you go out. The tank will have the tendency to slip out until the strap gets streched out and develops a bend in the place where it wraps over the buckle.

Rating: call with measurements
Reviewer: jenny k., - View all my reviews
I bought the XL based on my exact measurements, but would have been able to wear a L because all the straps are adjustable. It might have been a better idea for me to have called a rep with my measurements and let them help me. I did however LOVE the quick release weight pockets. They seemed to displace the weight better than the belts that were all familiar with.

Rating: Good Starter BC
Reviewer: Nathan McDaniel, - View all my reviews
It is a good starter or if you only dive a couple of weeks out of the year. It tended to get a lot of water inside it. I checked all the seals and couldnt figure out why. Good buy and it performed well. I would buy it again.
Questions and Answers for Oceanic Oceanpro Scuba BC:
Mark:
I like the looks of this BC but I see that it only has a 20 lb releasable weight limit but no mention of upper or back pockets for non releasable weight.
I dive with 26 lbs and wanted to know if there was any standard weight pockets or how else to overcome the weight difference.
Thanks!
Mark

Hello Mark, yes this BCD will only hold 20 lbs. in the front 2 (10 lbs per) pocket. If you are looking to add a few pockets in the back along the tank strap: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-225/044049/XS-Scuba-Trim-Diving-Weight-Tank-Pouch.html. This would hold up to an extra 5 lbs (per pocket). If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
