Description

The Oceanic Hera BCD is just for the ladies. In developing this BCD, more than 300 female divers, instructors and Oceanic Dealers participated in a detailed survey to in return help develop the ultimate women’s-specific BC design. Time and time again, we heard what is lacking in today’s BCs designed for women:

• Comfortable, designed to fit you. Not a scaled-down male BC
• Contoured in all the right places without sacrificing features or functionality a BC that’s travel-friendly, yet rugged enough and packing the lift capacity required for daily local diving.
• something with a little style – preferably not just big swatches of pink or purple material

You asked for it, Oceanic delivered. The Oceanic Hera is built from the ground up for you, designed specifically around the female form with ample adjustments to make it your own. This may just be the most comfortable, best fitting BC you’ve ever worn.

Features of the Oceanic Hera

• the patented hybrid bladder combines the benefits of both rear inflation and jacket style BCs
• custom Fit Harness with a multi-position shoulder strap to deliver individual comfort for women of all sizes
• the QLR Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 20 lbs. plus dual 5 lbs. rear weight pouches for improved in-water positioning
• weight pockets are loaded positioned at a slight downward angle to aid self-loading
• contoured over the hip resulting in added comfort
• reinforced shoulders, padded backpack and an adjustable position sternum strap ensure comfort and stability
• pre-bent welded stainless steel D-rings
• integrated instrument retractor mount (retractor not included) and Spinner BC Knife mounting grommets

Details on the Design of the Oceanic Hera BCD

Patented Custom Fit Harness

Oceanic’s patented Custom Fit Harness is standard equipment on the Hera BC. With multi-position shoulder straps and cummerbund, the Oceanic Hera BC delivers individual comfort for women of all shapes and sizes.

Hybrid Bladder Design

The innovative design allows the freedom of movement and other benefits you have come to expect from a rear-inflation BC. However, the unique wrap-around design of the air cell provides you more lift than most BC’s; as well as an improved, upright orientation when the BC is inflated on the surface.

Patented QLR (Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System

Angled down slightly to aid self-loading, Oceanic’s patented QLR Quick Lock & Release System keeps up to 20 lbs. of releasable weight in position and stabile throughout the dive. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release when you want to. Best of all, our patented positive-lock system helps to ensure that they’ll stay put.

Rear Weight Pockets

Located on the back of the BC on either side of the cylinder band. Provides greater integrated weight capacity and better attitude underwater. Carries up to 10 non-dumpable pounds.

Fadeless 1000 Denier Cordura® Construction

Exterior abrasion points are covered in the new “Fadeless” 1000-denier Cordura. This is tough stuff that will in return hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that new look longer.

Optional Integrated Retractor / BC Knife System

Built-in retractor and Spinner BC Knife attachment points are perfect for streamlining gauges, lights and other essentials.

Reliant Integrated Inflator

Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position. This inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, thus improving diver control during ascents.

Patented Depth-Compensating Adjustable Cummerbund

The cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material. Eliminating the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. Oceanic’s cummerbund offers up to 8″ of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customisation, change the cummerbund easily with another size.

Padded Backpack and Additional Lumbar Support

Extra heavy-duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface – without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack.

Large Main Zippered Pockets

Zippered pockets, easy to get into with Enough room to store your torch, spare mask, pocket snorkel, and more!
