PAUL G Yes. There are two small, removable sleeves that weight can be placed into that stay in the BCD via a velcro flab. One is on the right and the other is on the left. They work simply and efficiently.

SHERMAN C Yes the weights are dumpable, the bcd is really nice quality as well.

DAVID P Yes the BC has dumpable weight pouches and the fit is very good. My son loves it and has been using it in the padi seal team program. David Potts

JOHN S It has an integrated weight system. You will need to add your own weights, of course. So, yes, this would be "dumpable." However, dumping weights should only be done as an absolute last resort as it could lead to an uncontrolled ascent, causing injury or even death. The best way to stay safe is to be prepared, trained, and cautious in everything you do. This is doubly true for children.

MICHAEL K Yes but you must buy the weights separately.

CHRISTOPHER L It sure does! The silver-colored knobs on the side are the weight integrated pockets that would allow a diver to quick release their BC integrated weight system.

ROBERT S this bc had pockets for dumpable weights on each side. nice kids bc

RONALD S Yes it does. It has an integrated weight belt. You can see it in grey along the hips in the picture

SCOTT F Yup.

David R The Oceanic Air XS can be added to the bc for an additional $109.95

PABLO B The one I purchased is XXL. It fits perfectly on my son. He's 11 years old, and weights aprox. 25 kg/ 55 lbs. He dove 5 times so far with it, and it really improved his diving experience a lot, compared to adult size BCDs. It provides also room to grow, and I expect it to fit him for the next 4 or 5 years.

PATRICK B The 8-10 would be comparable to a xxx-small in some other brands. It fits an average size 8 year old very well and comfortable. There is room to grow. It also has a crotch strap to keep the BCD from rising over the head. Very good quality also.

RUSTY C "I bought two of the Oceanic Youth BCD's for my boys. Child size: 3XS Here's the size of my boy wearing it: Weight: 50 lbs. Height: 4'6". Chest: 24". Waist: 22". He is built with a very thin, skin and bones, type of body. Fits Perfectly !!! Child Size: XXS Here's the size of my other boy wearing it: Weight: 75 lbs. Height: 4'9". Chest: 26". Waist: 26". He is built with more of a normal, no fat, type of body. Fits Perfectly !!! The BCD's are built very nice, sturdy, tough, and have a handle on them too. We've used them for the classroom and pool training with no problems. You won't loose any weights. The weight integration system is extremely tough to get opened because of the velcro that really locks them in place. I don't think the kids could remove them in an emergency, so you would want to possibly use HALF the velcro area when locking them into place. Hope this helps."
