Questions and Answers for Oceanic Oceanpro 1000D BC:
lenny:
whats the difference between this and the Oceanic Oceanpro Scuba BC
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
This is the most current version of the Oceanic Oceanpro bcd. The differences between the 1000D and the older version is a slightly more comfortable cut and the use of heavier, more durable nylon in the construction of the newer model.
Garth:
Has the BC auto inflate issue been corrected in the newer valves?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello Garth, this is not an auto inflate system designed into this BCD. If you need to inflate this BCD you will need to press the inflate or deflate button on the power inflator. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Garth:
I should have said unplanned/inadvertent inflation. I replaced one under warranty and it did it again thus I bought one thru you
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello Garth, it could be you use your inflator alot when your underwater. If you do you can get salt, sand, dirt, build up in there that could make the buttons stick. You should rinse your gear in clean fresh water. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822
Dave:
How much does it weigh (without weight pockets)? I travel a lot so Im considering this vs. one specifically designed (or labeled) for travel.
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Depending upon the size, this bcd would weigh between 8 and 10 pounds.
Designed to withstand the daily rigors of rental and training departments around the world Durable 1000D denier fadeless nylon construction Available with or without Oceanic's QLR Integrated Weight System. Accommodates up to 9kg Integrated backpack with carrying handle Easy to adjust quick release shoulder adjustments Strategically placed plastic d-ring attachment points Sternum strap
Patented QLR (Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System The OceanPro 1000D may be purchased with or without Oceanic's patented QLR Quick Lock & Release System. If you choose not to buy them with your BC, you will have 2 additional storage pockets and may add the QLR Weight Pockets at any time. Your weights stay in position throughout the dive and do not shift around affecting buoyancy or position in the water. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release. Best of all, our patented 'positive-lock' system helps to ensure that they'll stay put.
Fadeless 500 Denier Ballistic Nylon Construction The OceanPro 1000D air cell is welded from a fadeless 500 denier nylon. Exterior abrasion points are covered in our fadeless 1600 denier ballistic nylon - tough stuff that will hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that 'new look' longer.
Alliance Integrated Inflator Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the Alliance Integrated Inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, improving diver control during ascents.
Adjustable Cummerbund Oceanic's cummerbund offers up to 8' of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may be easily changed with another size.
Padded Backpack Extra heavy duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack.
2 Large Main Pockets Enough room to store your OceanPro 1000D Light, extra Shadow Mask, Pocket Snorkel, or P.S.D.!
Optional Air XS 2 Alternate Inflator The AIR XS 2 combines the reliability, performance and durability of the SlimLine OCTOPUS and ALLIANCE INFLATOR into one very low profile, streamlined package. The regulator/inflator combination is as small as many BC inflators alone, with breathing performance superior to many stand-alone octopus regulators.
The AIR XS 2 can be added to any existing Oceanic BC or may be purchased already installed on a new Oceanic BC for additional savings.
