Oceanic Excursion BC X-Large

Do not buy this product or any product from Oceanic. I bought this bc when they advertised that it could use dual tanks. I talked to Oceanic today and they said that it takes an adaptor to do that and they don't sell it anymore and suggested I buy a new Hollis bc. WTF. This bc is supposed to handle doubles and now they want me to buy a different bc. If you buy Oceanic good luck on it doing what they claim.

This is truly a great BCD. I've put more than 300 dives into mine in both warm and cold water and it has stood up well. It's wonderful for cold water because it has so much lift. I spent 3 months guiding with it every and the only thing that wore out were the handles on the weight pockets. Those broke eventually and I had to buy new pockets. All in all, a good BCD

This BCD is awesome. Has all the features of a much higher end BCD, very good quality, it's been 7 years now and it look brand new.

Great piece of gear. Allows me to better control my position while on the sea floor or penetrating the interior of a wreck. Comfortable to wear and plenty of space in the pockets as well as D-rings are all over the place and let you clip gear to however you like to have it set up.

Leisure Pro is awesome, while ordering online is never easy as far as sizes go, I'm 5' 9" 245 lbs. and a large fit me great. Leisure Pro replaced it two time until I got the right fit. The Oceanic Excursion BC is outstanding, I was worried since this was my first back inflate BCD. But it worked great, with the weight pockets and the trim pockets in the back it was the best. Outstanding product and outstanding product for the quality of BC that your getting.

Love the Oceanic Excursion BC as my travel BC. Nice size pockets, weight pouches release easily, and it feels very spacious, yet not cumbersome at all

I love this bcd. If you are considering one and have only used a jacket style before then go rent a back inflate before you buy one. The only failing is the belly band buckle. It's plastic and I have broken two. They were right on with the repair but the second one broke too, so I replaced it with one that will not break.

Got this as a replacement for an out of stock item and I cannot be happier. Got it fast and everything was as listed. Took it out less than week later and after having used jacket style BC's since being certified in 1989 I am very pleased with the switch to back inflate. As a spearfisherman the BC is all I have heard about. Simple but loaded with features and comfortable beyond expectation. Would definitely recommend!

New BCD after 15 years and so glad I chose the Oceanic Excursion BC!! Skinny: The overall design and versatility of the BCD exceeded my expectations. Plenty of rings for attachments, love the integrated weight pockets and trim pockets and the ease of use was excellent. I found the pockets to be plenty large enough for whatever and the dump valve locations were to my liking. At 6'2" 212, I found Large to fit well except the cumber bun is not too snug but it doesn't require me to return for a smaller size. I would highly recommend this BCD and was very pleased with the reduced pricing provided by Leisure Pro!! Order and shipment: Product was easy to order and arrived sooner than promised. I was also surprised to receive a message from the president of Leisure Pro offering appreciation for purchasing from his company. Very classy!! Highly recommend this BC and really like Leisure Pro

Rugged , Great BCD for ll condition of diving, Big pockets, Easy to handle , Few flaws is the right weight system does not clip as fast and you have to get the right position of the deflating mechanisum . However they are very minor stuff . Plenty of D rings, Plenty of storage , You will never use all the D rings but its great to have , BCD is priced well , Going to buy 2 more for my kids

Great BCD. I use for travel and local. I was looking for a back-inflate that was light enough to travel, but also had features for my local cold water dives( sometimes in Great Lakes wreck dives). This is the ONE. Plenty of lift when in 8/7 Henderson semi dry, and yet small enough to pack and works well with just dive skin. This has multiple attachment spots with durable metal rings. I did not want to sacrifice pockets, which is common in most travel BCs. These are big enough to keep needed items. I like this over the older Excursion 2 because of improved weight pockets and right shoulder dump valve. I like the integrated tank weight pockets and dumpable pockets. Allows for needed flexibility for varying weight configuration. Very comfortable shoulder straps and buckles. Great Zippers. So far appears very durable and able to withstand the rigors of heavy use. There are BCs that may be better for travel and some may be better for technical dives, but they would not be dual purpose for me. This is perfect balance in my opinion.
