Yes, yes you can! Safe diving!
The weight pockets are available at the following link. https://www.divers-supply.com/quick-release-weigh-pocket-version-5.html
I would go with a small one. These usually run true to size from the size chart.
Hi Elwood, The provided size chart on the page states the X-large size is for some with a Height (ft/in) 6'2"-6'5" Weight (lbs) 195-240 Chest (in) 38-46 Waist (in) 41-46 Lift(lbs) 41
The biggest difference other than cosmetics it the Edge Element has low profile dumps that have one way valves to keep water out. The Scout has standard dump valves.
Hi Ron, thank you for your question on the Sea Elite Scout BCD. This product does not come in a XXXS, the Seac Ergo BCD does come in a XXXS. The Ergo is a jacket style BCD and is around the same price point.
Hi Ed, thank you for your question on the Sea Elite Scout BCD. The weight of the XL is 6lbs. Let us know if you have anymore questions and thank you for choosing Divers Supply.
You should go by the waist measurement on the size chart. It is the most important measurement for this BCD. Waist (in) XS- 23-27 SM-28-31 MD-30-36 LG-36-40 XL- 41-46 XXL- 47-50
Thank you for contacting us! These BCDs are unisex. I think the XS would be the best fit for her.
Thank you for your question! Unfortunately no, though the Sea Elite Scout BCD does have an integrated weight system, it does not come with weights. Weights (hard or shot) are sold separately. I hope this helps! Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with in the future. Thanks again!####Thank you for your question. The Sea Elite Scout BCD does not come with weights however, they are available in the weights and belts section of our website. I hope this helps. If there is anything else we can do for you please let us know. Thanks again
For most people, you can go by what size shirt you wear. Sounds like you would probably be a Large. It can be a little difficult to size perfectly based on just height and weight, but almost all of the straps on this BC are adjustable to fit.
The Sea Elite Scout BCD weighs depending on the size between 5 to 7 lbs.
Thank you for your question. The Sea Elite Scout shares the same name with the BCD from 2011 but has gone through several redesigns since then. There are no current recalls on any scout bcd's being sold. I hope this helps. If there is anything else we can do for you please let us know. Thanks again
The Inflator hose is included with BCD standard is 26 inches.

Price, BCD look and feel.
By Charles Kay on February 20, 2015
Just did 20 dives with the Scout BCD that I recently bought. It is well constructed and I had absolutely no difficulties with it.It fit well and was comfortable. It's nice that it has an integrated weight system with drop-able and the Non-drop-able weights. The Non drop able are located high in the back of the BCD and general weight balance is very easy and nice. It has very nice zip pockets in easy to get to areas with plenty of space to store flashlights and other stuff. And the whole package is pretty compact and doesn't weight too much. I was easily able to get it , my reg package and most of my other dive gear in a flight carry on bag.

I purchased a complete kit including this BCD. After several dives I am very impressed with the quality. The fit is true and very comfortable. Integrated weight system is excellent. Two ditchable pockets in the front and two non-ditchable trim pockets on the back. I have had no problems with trim, buoyancy or lift with this BCD. Even includes a very nice tether for your flashlight or other tools in one of the zipper pockets. Highly recommended if purchased in a kit.
Thank you very much for your review! We are so happy you love the Sea Elite Scout BCD! If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know.
