At-Pac needs repair

[denniscarman]

Hello I have an at-pac that I just love. So easy to use.

In any case the seams on the inside bladder have finally decided to let go and open up. I need to find a place that can make a new bladder for the at- pac.

It doesn't owe me anything as I've used it for 30 years now. The only problem I have had with it, was when the power hose on the inside of the inflator tube slipped of and inflated my pac. That was the quickest trip to the surface I ever made.

Anyway any help would be appreciated

thanks
Dennis

Dennis,
I have a Scubapro hardshell unit, two infact , that I treasure. In my concern, a few years back, I contacted Scubapro and they would bebuild the bladder for me should worse come to worst. A phone call to them may produce the results you want. You have the original for a pattern , how hard can it be. Perhaps they could direct you to someone able to replicate the bladder.

Good luck,
Jerry

Thanks Diverdown for the info.

I think I'll do that. I've even gotten the same material and have been pondering on rebuilding it myself. The only problem is the seal.

Divetek in Calif, they are the ones that now make the At-Pac, last I checked (last month) you will have to send the bladder to them and they will contact you with a price. That is what they told me.

Let me know if you need anything else, I started diving an At-Pac in 1978, still dive the bladder on a backplate.
