When I started diving I was 5'9", 370#

Rotund.

The stock 2XX Sea Elite fit me like a glove.

It's components, however, are interchangable, i.e., you can swap 2XX shoulder
straps to 1X, or a medium back pad for a large, or interchange any cumberbun
size.

It's a superior BC.

I'm sorry Poppy, but we can't have you running around bastardizing your
own equipment. You must surrender this apocalyptic BC and begin your
new future of diving with something more appropriately suited for you as
it came from a manufacturer of Blessed Fitness. This edict would
include that little orange whistle you've banded to your LP inflator
hose, as well. That'll teach ya to mess with DIR and their cronies
basking in the glowing halo of the Halcyon castle. <vbg>

Zeagles are for strokes.

I didn't even bother to sell mine, I just threw it away.

Heh -- amusing -- but I know Pops hasn't dove a BC in a long time. He has
the sexy BP/W thing going on! (-;

by an authorized dealer. He comments how you can buy a cumberbun extender
and other things."

I believe I mentioned that these were from the major suppliers...and yes,
they are for their gear. This kind of extender is actually pretty
standard...

I haven't seen one in the last thousand dives.

Or the last hundred dive shops.
