ScubaPro FALCON Back-inflation BC. EXCELLENT condition, size medium.
When not in use, it has been stored in my closest, since new.
When I purchased it, it was the top-of the-line back inflation BC that ScubaPro made. It has since been replaced by ScubaPro’s Seahawk BC, which currently retails for ~$1300 (incl tax). The 40 lb lift bladder is in excellent condition.
I LOVE this BC and I am only selling it because I have gained 40 lbs since I last wore it, so when I went to put it on for my refresher course, I discovered that it no longer fit.
It has the standard BPI inflator, and like many other tech-BC’s, it has10 metal d-rings,. It also has 3 dump valves (the lower left corner of the bladder, the left shoulder, and a pull-to-deflate inflator hose valve on the right shoulder), allowing you to adjust your buoyancy/trim in nearly any orientation. It also has an adjustable Velcro waistband, quick-release weight and comes with 2 detachable storage pockets for trim weights. Although it is not considered to be a travel BC, as it can’t be completely rolled up due to a hard-back tank mount, it CAN be folded and put in your luggage along with your fins (which is how I always travelled with it). Of course, it also has ScubaPro’s classic stainless steel Super Cinch tank band, which imho, is superior to the plastic cam’s found on most BC’s tank bands.
Whether you are going South and would like your own gear to dive with, or if you are curious as to what all the fuss is about over back inflation and whether the flat trim-position they keep you in, really is the SUPERIOR dive position everyone says it is (to me it definitely is), this gently-used back-inflate BC that you won’t “outgrow” too quickly, and is a relatively inexpensive way to find out what a back-inflation BC is like without having to commit over $1,200.
Unless you are planning on being a hard-core side-mount tech diver, it may well may be all the tech-BC you need, at a once-in-a lifetime price.
I also have 7 ScubaPro soft weights (five 3.3-lb weights and two 2.2-lb trim weights), which have never been used, that I will include.
Will also swap for a larger version, or air-integrated computer.
