Will these work? They look like pretty standard pockets. Have you tried contacting Oceanic directly?

Google Image search found them. They are Oceanic 10# weight pockets for the Tour BCD: oceanicworldwide.com/us/bcds/bcd-accessories/weig...se-pockets-pair-196/

Sorry, you already knew that :). I guess you were wanting to find them for sale. Looks like Oceanic is sold out. You’ll need to contact them directly. Unless anyone on here has a Tour BCD for sale.

Don’t get hung up on the color handles, model paint will last you a few seasons, my handles were black :)
I once stopped at ForceE on Blue Heron looking for an inflator hose for my daughters Oceanic, we ended up buying one of their last year rentals for parts and then gave the bladder back to them. Something to you might try but not all of their pockets are the same.
Have you tried LeisurePro?

Yea tried Oceanic and Leisure pro, no luck and its not the color if the handles but the little slot that attaches them to the BC. Yea im looking to buy a replacement set.

I have a friend that went through pretty much the same, and as he found out the equipment was discontinued and after months of searching to no avail the end result was purchasing a new bcd,, good luck

If you don’t mind me asking, what happened to the set of weight pockets it came with?

They were stolen.

most likely stolen for the reason that either somebody they knew or a bc they had, the weights either got stolen or got ditched or simply wanted a spare and as youve found its not easy finding the right replacement. Its pretty sad that this has to happen

It may be easier to find an old Oceanic BC and pay $20 for it. Really used dive equip. doesn’t sell worth anything. Esp. if its over 10years and considered a vintage model.

Also look at Oceanpro. Hollis, Aeris and Lavacore weight pockets of that same era. Since they were all made by the same company as your OCEANIC weight pockets. Yea I got it correct this time ! Sorry#@%$
